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?

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?
