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.
