Opening comment
Most casinos make a distinction between a high roller and a whale. A high roller is typically said to be a gambler willing to risk $50,000 during a weekend, while a whale is a gambler willing to risk $500,000 (http://www.vegas.com/traveltips/guide/highroller.html). I don't recommend a separate entry, but should the distinction be made on the high roller page?
Also, the entry could be expanded by talking about common perks and comps given to high rollers.

- I'm not against your edit, but the link you provided starts out by saying "There's a reason why high rollers are called "whales," ". This seems to indicate the two terms are interchangable. Do you have something else to support the change? CPitt76 (talk) 22:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
AUD
Why is the obsure Australian dollar used in this article in place of euro of USD? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.33.14 (talk) 00:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- Well, an Australian casino was mentioned first, so it would kind of make sense, but when it moves to talk about casinos in other locations it really doesn't make sense at all. I recommend it be changed to something else as well. 65.78.144.140 (talk) 14:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- There are other forms of currency in the world besides the Euro and the US Dollar. Besides, 1.4 billion of ANYTHING is a lot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.39.105.210 (talk) 13:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

- I'd suggest that they be converted to references for the specific points if they can provide information --Natet/c 13:01, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- I've removed them again as they don't seem to be a huge help as generic "other stuff" links - please link them to details they provide information on Natet/c 17:25, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- Other pages have external links that also qualify as "generic "other stuff"" sites.70.58.55.110 (talk) 09:14, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
