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)
