While the main casino floor is filled with casual tourists playing penny slots, a completely different world exists behind closed doors.

To attract these massive bankrolls, casinos employ dedicated VIP hosts whose entire job is to cater to their every whim.

How Much Do You Need to Bet to be a Whale?

Whales are the absolute apex predators of the gambling world, often placing $50,000 to $100,000 on a single hand of Baccarat.

If a whale goes on a massive winning streak, they can literally drain a smaller casino's available cash reserves.

• Casinos use private jets to fly whales in from around the world, completely free of charge, just to secure their business
• The VIP host must know everything about the whale, from their favorite rare scotch to their preferred brand of cigar
• When a whale arrives, the casino essentially bends the rules of reality to ensure they never experience a single moment of inconvenience

The Incredible Perks and Comps

To ensure the whale loses their money at their specific property, the casino will cover absolutely all expenses for their entire entourage.

If a whale wants front-row tickets to a sold-out championship boxing match, the casino will simply buy the seats at an exorbitant markup.

They exist in a parallel universe of luxury, where millions of dollars change hands in the blink of an eye.
