What does Junket mean in casino terms?

A Junket in casino terms is an organised VIP arrangement where an intermediary brings together high-bankroll players and negotiates special gaming and service conditions for them.

How does it work?

That intermediary usually handles the trip, support, financial arrangements, and communication with the operator. The player gets a more personalised experience, while the host gains access to VIP customers through a separate channel. That is why junkets are tied more to the high roller segment than to ordinary mass-market players.

The term does not refer to the mechanics of a game itself. It describes a VIP model around gambling where organisation, concierge-style support, and high turnover matter most.
