I am not a high stakes gambler by any means; usually I take $500 for a three-day stay in LV. But, I am willing to wager $5 in BJ, or play with $100 on a $5 crap table. Most casinos today open $15, $25 and $50 tables with very few if any $5 tables. Those $5 tables are always very crowded. I expect the casino to win my $500 while I visit, and I don't mind. What I do mind is the fact they want it all at once. Couldn't they give me a chance to lose it over a longer period of time, and still enjoy myself? I've walked away from tables, and kept my money in my pocket and spent it elsewhere, or just saved it. If they have dealers standing alone doing nothing at a $25 table, wouldn't it be worth their time and trouble to make it a $5 table and let us little guys have some fun? It's not like we are going to break their bank.

Sometimes I stand and watch my brother play a table game, Let It Ride for instance. When he leaves the table for one reason or another, I sit down and play for him while he's gone. The dealer doesn't seem to mind when I do this. But if I won a large jackpot while playing, would I be one to get a W-2G or would my brother since it is his money?

I've been watching Texas hold 'em tourneys on TV. Do they always burn a card on the flop, turn, and river cards and if so, why?

While cashing out at the cage at Caesars Palace I was told by the cashier that, starting on the 1st of July, I would need to provide my Social Security number (I had $4,000 in chips). Any idea what this new regulation is?

My wife and I come to Vegas twice a year and always stay at a major hotel on the Strip. Our last visit was this June. The new problem we encountered is the ease with which a thief can simply push a cashout button and remove a payout slip from a slot machine. An attempt was made on a machine my wife was using and we witnessed a successful grab from another slot player as well. This was virtually an unheard-of practice when coins were being used. My question is, why are the casinos not doing more to warn unsuspecting slot players of this practice? Especially since slots are responsible for such a large portion of their income. This problem is becoming epidemic and can only hurt players and casinos alike.

Have there ever been follow-up stories about big jackpot winners (like Megabucks)? I just wonder if or how their lives have changed.
