It's all relative to what people usually play. I've never played VP for more than $15/hand.

I've played $100 minimum BJ and have bet $120 - $500/spin roulette for several hours per session. That is well above what most people play. Most people would look at that level of play to be high rolling. At the same time, while playing at those levels there have been other players at the same tables playing for substantially more.

This is what can happen when playing VP at a VERY high roller level. Poker player Huck Seed hit this progressive at the Aria (I think?) playing a single line $500 progressive betting $2,500/hand. I was told he had $45,000 in before hitting this royal. I could easily retire on that much money!

I believe that was a $100 machine.

You are correct, it was a $100.00 machine ($500.00) a bet. It was at the Aria. When he saw the size of the progressive the math showed he would earn $3.00 per hand.

Do a Google search on Huck Seed Video Poker, you can come up with some interesting reading.

Did you get that from Obama? Read the info first, not throw out a wild guess or wait to hear about it from other sources. There were no $100 coins, it was a ten play/$10 per line game. Man! Like father, like son.

BobOrme, treegirl, teach8, and I all added different scenarios to this thread than the one originally posted.

Did Obama get to all of us?

No, not me. I've never seen anyone paid in tickets before at Rincon, though at Caesars in the high limit video poker area players are offered tickets all the time.

There is a high roller at Rincon who regularly played the $100 machines there (they are now GONE -- and top denomination for single line machines is now $25) -- and he had a stack of $100 bills on his machine.

Actually it makes a lot of sense for these high rollers to get tickets.

I once had a chat with my host at Caesars who told me that for a REAL high roller, they made up $10,000 or $25,000 tickets for him to play the $500/coin slot machines.

I'm very plesed with the responses.

The term "high roller" is so subjective. To the nickel player, a dollar player is a high roller, to the dollar player, the $25 player is. Of course casinos have their own versions. Last year I ran over one million dollars through their machines...am I a high roller? To some, yes...to others...no way.

I read Bob Dancer's latest blog today and I highly recommend it for couples that have one partner that is a gambler.

Love the picture of the $600K+ win...we can only dream.

$1000 tickets, walking away from a "jackpot" is very much a high roller to me!!! BTW sionow did the guy seem excited when he hit? I play at the quarter level and when I hit 4 of a kind or higher I always pump my fist,even alone, then hope no one is watching, unless I am playing with my wife and when she hits I high five her too. And I have been gambling for decades and a Caesars Diamond.

Yes that is quite the picture. I read a while back that it didn't take him 2 months to blow through it all at the poker tables.

Sure, Dancer's latest is great for couples who don't trust one another. And for some who think women are only there to do whatever some egotistical maniac directs them to do.
