high-roller
Casino's prized guest
A high-roller is someone who gambles with large sums of money, especially in casinos: The casino sent a limo for its high-rollers.
The term extends to anyone who spends lavishly or lives extravagantly: High-rollers in the VIP section ordered bottles of champagne.
The image is of dice rolling for high stakes.
