Philip Green of BHS is considering buying casino Les Ambassadeurs in Mayfair

Billionaire Philip Green of BHS is considering purchasing Les Ambassadeurs high roller casino in Mayfair for £20 million less than what the current owner Mr Sampoerna paid for it.  Philip Green is a regular player at Les Ambassedeurs casino and wants to buy it with the current owner of Newcastle football club.  Philip Green last christmas played high roller roulette and won big costing the casino £3 million.  Since Philip Greens winning and other losses the casino has showed a drop in profits causing the lower sale price.  Sheldon Adelson is said to be interested now in purchasing Les Ambassadeurs maybe he will put high roller slots in the casino like he has done in Macau and Vegas which has been very popular.  Ambassedeurs has always been a casino with no slots as typically UK high roller casinos don’t have slots but maybe Adelson will change it.

Famous High Rollers

There are many high rollers in the world today and there have been many high rollers in the past but few as memorable as the names below.  Starting with probably the biggest high roller of all time Kerry Packer who you may have thought would have died with huge casino debts but quite the opposite leaving a fortune of several billions for his son to inherit and take over the family business.  We will be covering three famous high rollers each week but none will beat Packer.

Kerry Packer

Kerry Packer famous for going on a high roller losing streak in London losing $28 million in a few weeks in London’s high roller casinos.  He won $33 million australian another time when in the MGM grand in Vegas a huge win!  Sure that made up for the loss in London.  There are many comical high roller related stories involving Kerry Packer and casino tables one which I always remember is when in casino an oil tycoon bragged of his wealth being $60 million Kerry Packer took out a coin and said to him toss you for it!

We wonder what Kerry Packer would have been like in online casinos as he died before they really took off.  Would he have been a fan of the australian online casinos such as Ausvegas and Lasseters and would he have joined the high roller slots.

Mickey Rosa

The man the casino film 21 was based on.  He was a member of the MIT blackjack team who through card counting took alot of cash off casinos in Vegas, Missisipi, Chicago and Louisianna.  He was a very seedy character and ended up getting banned from most major land casinos.

James Grosjean

He is a professional blackjack player who has written many subjects on blackjack card counting and beyond.  he had long running legal battles with Las vegas casinos and won one in 2005 with a payout of $600,000.  He was a mathematics whizz and because of this used his talent to become an incredible blackjack player and is currently the youngest member of the professional blackjack hall of fame and highly regarded by Blackjack players world wide.

Greektown land casino in Detroit has high roller slots introduced

Greektown casino in Detroit has been falling behind most other land casinos in the area in terms of revenue and growth, though a new refurbishment recently undergone there will hopefully pull it back on the road to being a big contender to the competition.

The refurbishment undergone there is external to with roads created to make easier access to the casino and for the last year or so has left the roads blocked reducing access to the casino but suddenly all will be revealed in the near future.  The gaming floor in the land casino has been extended by 33% and huge number of new slot machines introduced as well as high roller slots.  This year the casino is expected to lose $15 million as a result of the cost of refurbishment and limited access to the casino but should make this back very soon.

Fuel prices stopping high rollers gambling at land casinos

Las Vegas and many land casino destinations across the globe are suffering due to incredibly high fuel prices and now even high rollers gambling is slowing down as they are refusing to travel, well not altogether just not on their private jet.  Sean Combs otherwise known as P Diddy has refused to travel private jet and made a statement on You Tube announcing this as he feels fuel prices are so high and is making a point by not flying jet and is choosing to fly American Airlines now.  If high rollers stop flying the land casinos will really suffer as we already saw earlier this year with some casinos just losing 5 high rollers their overall revenue was cut 35%.  This is certainly a serious issue for the casinos and high roller incentives I am sure are to pop up from casinos such as larger lines of credit but with a credit crunch this may be hard.  Online casinos are certainly going to benefit from the fuel price rise with people staying home to gamble online.  If you are a high roller and want some advice about where to do some high rollers gambling then Jackpotavenue is your best resource read our high roller slots page this is certainly going to point you in the right direction.

Jackpotjoy casino introduces Houdini Slot

Jackpotjoy has recently released the Houdini online slot one of the greatest slots to come out in the last year.  The Houdini slot is based on the famous escape artist Houdini.  The Houdini slot is a 5 reel 25 payline slot made up of jacks kings and queens plus alot of rabbits and top hats on the reels.  The locks and keys and balloons are the bonus symbols and unlock the amazing bonus rounds which is what makes this game so exciting.  The crowd roar as you get closer and closer to the bonus round and when you hit it you will roar.  There are some huge payouts in the bonus rounds with some great cash multipliers.  In the balloon bonus game aim to hit as many balloons as you can before going through to the next round each time you go through to the next round you will get a bigger bonus.  The symbol you dont want to see appear is collect which means you have to collect and stop the bonus round.  All the bonus games have the same princibles.  The box bonus game you have to unlock boxes to find Houdini and the chain and lock game you have to unlock Houdini.  The bonus rounds unlike alot of slots are unlocked quite quickly and the bonus rounds really do produce big payouts.

The Houdini slot is certainly a favorite of the high rollers searching for high roller slots as you can play up to £100 spins but if you want to play lower you can wager as low as 1p.

High rollers make up 75% of casino income

Casinos both online and land casinos make up the majority of their income from high rollers.  Casino destination Macau sees regular high rollers drop $100,000 a visit and these players are what make up the three quarters of the income there.  Macau unlike Vegas takes the majority of its income from tables where as vegas takes 80% of its income from slots.  Macau is making way for many more high roller slots in the next year.

High roller rooms have been under scrutiny in the gold coast due to the smoking ban where they plan to ban smoking in the high rollers rooms an idea that could prevent regular players but encourage others.  If you enjoy a puff on a cuban cigar when rolling the dice then the gold coast is not the place to go.

Ladbrokes casino has seen a huge rise in profits the past year due to the high roller telephone punters dropping more than ever before.  £17.3 was lossed by high rollers the previous year but this year that record has been smashed.
