A high roller, also referred to as a whale in the casino industry, is a gambler who wagers large amount of money at a casino or a poker room. As a reward for the huge amount of money spent by them, these high rollers often receive lavish “perks” from the casinos and the poker rooms. Their rewards might include facilities, such as free private jet transfers, free limousine use, and free use of the casinos’ best suites.

While the high rollers may not provide a significant portion of the revenues in the casino industry as a whole, they can have a major effect on the net income of the casinos. There is a huge cost involved in  attracting the highest stake gamblers. If a casino takes this chance and wins a whale, its expenses become large. But, if the casino’s investment pays off well and the high rollers lose, the casino’s or the poker’s room gain  exceed its expenses of attracting the VIP gambler.

Some of the poker rooms that offer VIP bonuses are the Titan poker, the Everest Poker, the RedKings, the Party poker and various others. In Titan poker, players are ranked VIP on the basis of the number of points earned by them in each month. The more points they earn, the higher they move up the VIP level.
