HOW TO BE A NEVADA HIGH ROLLER:
(reprint from the Nevada Magazine of Events and Shows)

Nothing attracts the attention of casino bosses quicker than
someone who plays, or wants to play, high-limit games. We're
talking table games such as baccarat, poker, or craps, where
the minimum bet is $1,000 to $10,000.

I don't live in that world. My world is investing $5 in a
quarter machine and walking away with $45 after 20 minutes.
That happened to me once, and I haven't forgotten my one big
payday. That led me to think I might want to become a high
roller and enjoy its many benefits including complimentary
rooms, elegant meals, monthly martini parties, and front row
seats to any show in town.

I soon learned that my $5 investment didn't allow me entry
into the high roller club. The secret to membership is length
of play and average bet. It might be exciting to play 30
minutes at a $100 table and then walk away, but playing four
straight hours at that same table sends a strong message to
the casino manager.

My play didn't send a message. It was more like a pathetic
whimper, but I now have the time to study people and the games
they play. If you think you have the potential to be a high
roller, here are a few suggestions:

< Walk in with confidence and ask for a casino host. Make
your presence known.

< Wear proper clothing. You're not going to find shorts or
tank tops among those playing baccarat behind closed doors,
unless they have more money than Midas.

< Ask questions. The casino host is more than willing to
explain all the rules of the house.

< Go in knowing you can win, but also knowing how much you
can lose. High limit games mean your purse can go quickly.
Should you lose, thank everyone for a delightful evening-
and wait for the casino to invite you back for a special
high-stakes weekend.
