Your QOD on casinos per state did not include Alabama. I know of at least five Alabama "casinos," including one you that Stiffs & Georges mentioned as having the sixth largest number of machines in the U.S. These are officially "Bingo" machines but there are video poker and Double Diamonds and other familiar varieties. No table games, of course. Did you exclude these because they are officially Bingo parlors, or because Alabama is currently going through a controversy about their "casinos"?

In a recent QoD (12/20) you list the number of casinos in each state; my question is what qualifies a business as being a casino? I live in Maine and only know of one "casino," Hollywood Slots, yet you list there being 3 here. What am I missing?

I am interested in knowing how the sponsership for the WSOP works. I noticed the winner, Joe Cada, prior to the Final 9 break, was wearing Ultimate Bet logos and then after the 3-month break, came back wearing PokerStars. I have to imagine that the sponsership offer from Pokerstars must have trumped Ultimate Bet's offer. I would have thought that Joe Cada might have some obligation to Ultimate Bet since he was originally wearing their gear. Please elaborate.

You say all California casinos are tribal, but that’s if you don't count the card rooms where you can play poker, blackjack, baccarat, 3-Card Poker, pai gow poker, pai gow, and even some versions of craps. There are probably around 50 of those in California.

I just got barred from playing blackjack at the Mirage with an explanation of, "Your skill level is such that we no longer want your play here". What's the worst that could happen to me if I go back and am caught playing again, or if I were to visit another of their sister casinos and am caught? Is it true they can't bar you from playing in Atlantic City any more?

Is there a way to find a list of slot machines in each casino in Las Vegas? Thanks.

In the past we've enjoyed going to the Las Vegas Hilton to play Pick 'Em Poker between rounds of the Hilton Million Dollar Blackjack Tournament. In recent visits we have not been able to find this video poker game. Does Pick 'Em still exist in any LV casinos?

My wife and I will be in Vegas 11/6 through 11/9 and we noticed that the WSOP final table starts on 11/7. How do we go about getting tickets to view one or more of the sessions while we are there?

Quick question for someone there. Do you know what day of the week the sports book post the lines for the next weekend of college and pro football? Do they have them posted on Monday, Tuesday, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated since we can’t seem to talk to anyone at the casino when we call about this matter.

If a double-zero roulette game has a 5.26% casino edge, why is a single-zero game 2.70% and not 2.63% (half of the first)?
