Having played baccarat a few times (at my play level, I'm relegated to the 'mini-baccarat' tables, which have much lower minimum bets, though I have played a couple of times at the full tables (there used to be a cheap full baccarat table at the Horeshoe, dunno if it's even around anymore)) I've seen my share of players dropping serious cash. The REALLY high stakes games aren't even played on the casino floor.

The casino staff don't call 'em 'whales' for nothing... (My younger brother is a boxman/floorman on dayshift at the Palace Station. Sorry, guys, comps are very tightly controlled - even he doesn't have the 'power of the pen'!)
