Who
needs a spleen anyway?

Dear Mark,
While surfing the internet I found your column
on the Detroit News web page. My guess is that
you must be familiar with casino gaming coming
to the Motor City. Recently I have come into a
small inheritance and would like to invest it
in a business close to these new casinos. Any
suggestions would be appreciated. Nathan B...

Dear Mark,
One of my greatest fears in a casino is playing
over a jackpot, especially one that has a big
payout like a royal flush. Does this horror story
happen often? By the way, I normally play in Atlantic
City. Thomas R... more »

poker game, Deuces Wild. I'm playing the same

Dear Mark,
I was recently in Las Vegas playing roulette and
came away with a large $2,000 win at Bally's.
What surprised me is they didn't request filling

Why are table games treated differently from slots
when it comes to gambling? Stan B... more »

Dear Mark,
Good-day from Melbourne, Australia. While having
a surf on the internet I came across your columns
and found them interesting. The questions you
receive as a dealer took me back to what I didn't
know about casinos until I started to work in
one. I found some of your past columns informative
about a patron's feelings towards certain situations
that can be quite distressing to those uneducated
in casino etiquette. Patron feelings are something

Don't
Quit Your Day Job

Dear Mark,
In a past column, you stated that video poker
has a return of 99 percent to the smart player
and can be mathematically one of the best bets
in the casino. My question is this. If I combine
my passion for the game, a low house advantage
and jackpots that run more than $1,000, is there
any possibility that I could make a living playing
video poker? Ted L... more »
