I don't know much about how much gambling goes on at those limits, but it sounds to me like they are getting quite a bit of action with their sky-high limits and they are publicizing their big losses just for advertisements sake. It will hit the news outlets as the casinos losing lots of money, but this statement is key: "There have been some players that we were big winners with." Kinda reminds me of when the last round of articles mentioned Don Johnson's "undisclosed losses."

I was there, it was last wednesday from about 6pm til midnight. He was playing out in the open and had more 5k and 25k chips than I have ever seen. I was talking to a dealer later who said he was the president/ceo of a major movie company. (I probably can't say which one on here) the $150k tip he left was pretty nice as well. They said that don johnson didn't leave a penny.

Johnson complained that Atlantic City’s casinos are refusing him a chance to play again, but Tropicana’s billionaire owner, Carl Icahn, said he plans to personally invite Johnson back to the blackjack tables.

“We have not cut him off,” Icahn said. “I congratulate him on his winnings. That’s what gambling is all about. We’d be happy to see him again.”

Rodio said the winning craps player also will be invited back for more high-stakes gambling. At one point Wednesday, the mystery player was betting more than $100,000 at a time on the craps table.

Was talking about all this today with my wife and we were wondering if this wan't just a publicity stunt. The casino colluding with the players and gambling with house money.
