Banker (Casino term)

In a casino, the “banker” is the person or entity responsible for managing the financial transactions and overseeing the operation of the games. The banker may be a casino employee, a third-party financial institution, or a group of investors who have pooled their money to finance the casino. The banker is responsible for providing the funds necessary to pay out winning bets, and they are also responsible for maintaining the integrity of the games and ensuring that they are operated fairly and according to the rules. In some games, such as baccarat, the role of the banker is rotated among the players, while in other games, the casino serves as the banker.
