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>>

Dear Mark,
I seem to be having less success playing the video
poker game, Deuces Wild. I'm playing the same
way I normally do. Is there something I should

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
out any information for the IRS. I have in the
past won $1,300 in slots and was requested on
the spot to supply the required information like
SS number, driver's license, etc. for a W2-G.
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
we dealers tend to forget about in our very repetitious

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>>
