Part III: Business & Regulation · Casino Marketing & Player Management
Premium Player
Player Classification
A player who demonstrates gaming activity above standard mass-market levels but may not yet qualify for full VIP designation. Premium players typically exhibit higher-than-average ADT (Average Daily Theoretical), consistent visit patterns, and responsiveness to marketing offers. They represent a critical target for player development initiatives aimed at escalating their play to VIP levels. Operations and marketing teams closely monitor this segment as they represent the most viable pipeline for VIP development and account for a disproportionate share of mass-market profitability.
In practice
In Macau, “premium mass” players occupy the tier between standard mass-market players and VIP/junket players, typically betting HK$3,000–HK$10,000 per hand on baccarat.
