I go to Vegas because I love to play single-deck blackjack. Now I'm finding out more and more from current on-line research that the single-deck games are lousy (paying 6 to 5 on blackjack etc.). If I wanted to play a six deck game, I'd stay at home and give my business to the local Indian Casino. Are there any good single-deck games to be found in Las Vegas or has it gone the way of the dinosaur?

I found your answer to the walking the marker question (4/7) interesting. But I had one problem with it. I've heard the term marker before, but I'm still not totally sure what a marker is or how it works. Can you please explain? Thanks!

Thanks for the answer about high-roller chips a few weeks ago. But what I've always been curious about are the colors of all the other chips. I've seen red, green, purple, black, brown, blue, silver, etc. Are there standard colors of chips? Either way, can you tell us what denominations they all are?

How much of a bankroll should I have to play quarter 9/6 Jacks or Better video poker? Does the bankroll requirement change when playing 9/7 Jacks or Better? And how large a bankroll do I need to play $1 9/6 JoB?

While playing solitaire on my computer, I noticed an option called "Las Vegas Rules." Was solitaire ever played as a gambling game in Las Vegas?

What are the meals that card players are now using to get past the long sessions when playing, say 8-12 hours. I heard that one of the card player's wives came up with a diet that gives them a wake-up call.

One evening last fall I was strolling through the Wynn looking for a realitively "cheap" craps game and came across a private table with four players. Curious, I looked to see the limit they were playing and noticed one Hollywood-looking type playing with brownish-colored $25,000 chips -- and he had several racks of them!! I've been curious ever since as to what is the highest limit casino chip actually used as legal tender on a casino floor.

I've heard the term "walking the marker," which, as I understand it, means to have a house account at a casino and to take out the interest-free cash and use it elsewhere -- to gamble or to put it into some kind of investment, like a one-month CD. Is this legal?

My daughter and I will be going to Vegas in the fall and (since we intend to play a lot of blackjack) we were wondering ... approximately how many decks of cards does the average casino have on hand at any given time? Also, how long is a deck used and what happens to it when they are done with it?

I have heard that 50 dollar bills are considered bad luck in a casino. Is this true? What other myths are there about bad luck and gambling?
