VIP Room
Junket Operations
A private or semi-private gaming area within a casino, physically separated from the main gaming floor, designed to accommodate high-stakes players with enhanced privacy, personalized service, and elevated betting limits. VIP rooms were traditionally managed by junket operators under contract with the casino concessionaire—the junket supplied the players, while the casino supplied dealers, gaming equipment, and regulatory oversight. Following Macau’s 2022 gaming law reforms, third-party-managed VIP rooms have been eliminated; VIP gaming now occurs either in operator-managed private salons (premium direct) or in designated high-limit areas within the main gaming floor.
In practice
VIP rooms generated substantially higher GGR per table than mass floor tables—at peak, the ratio was approximately 3.6:1 in Macau (average GGR of HK$13.6M per VIP table versus HK$3.78M per mass table in 2013).
