Step 1
Arrive with a massive bankroll. Becoming a bona fide high roller takes much more than betting big. The true high rollers--and there are only about 500 worldwide--need to have a credit line of $4 million to $5 million.
-
Step 2
Make a name for yourself. Getting into the high rollers room is by invitation only. If you're worthy, then you won't even need to ask--the casinos will already know who you are and invite you and your family to stay and play as long as you like. Private jet transportation, luxury accommodations, gourmet cuisine, free show tickets, expensive gifts, fine wines, butlers and chauffeurs are all on the house.

Step 3
Gamble big--very big--around $100,000 per bet. Australian billionaire Kerry Packer, the world's highest-stakes gambler, bets up to $375,000 per hand while playing seven blackjack hands at a time. His losses once amounted to $20 million in a weekend. Still think you can swim with these sharks?

Step 4
Master baccarat, the richest game in the casino and the one most often played in the private high rollers' room. These are often no-limit games as maximum bets cramp a whale's style.

on 6/9/2009 Two comments and I have to guess which one is yours? Very sad... You're misleading others when you refute the author and suggest that baccarat doesn't require any skill. It's an art, knowing when is an appropriate time to begin ripping the cards while screaming, "Monkey...Monkey...MONKEY!!!"

on 4/1/2009 "a bona fide high roller takes much more than betting big." - No it doesn't. Just bet big."Getting into the high rollers room is by invitation only"Nope. You just need to bet a minimum of $100 a hand to stay. Anyone can stroll in and watch."Make a name for yourself." - That's just stupid."Master baccarat"- Can't. There is no skill involved at all. It's like roulette. "maximum bets cramp a whale's style"- Nope. You can pretty much only bet up to a maximum of 20% of your line of credit once you exceed $15k. This is to prevent a player from placing it all on one bet and walking away. Forcing relatively 'moderate' bet sizes in relation to a players bankroll ensures a greater probability that the player will go broke. I suggest you google "Kelly Criterion". I suspect you won't though, given the speed at which you blasted off these gem of an article.

on 11/26/2007 My best hint for this is ASK FOR THE CASINO HOST ON DUTY. They get paid to meet players and pay attention to your play. If you get known and you ask about your play, you could be invited in. you never know.
