Stake Player - Poker (gambling)


A player given house chips to play for the purpose of starting a game that would otherwise be short, or to keep a game that is becoming short from breaking up. A stake player keeps half his profits (after returning to the house the amount given him when he was first put in), usually at the end of a shift, but absorbs none of the losses. When he receives his share of the profits, this is the split-out.
