Is it improper to give my comps such as free play to someone else? My friend and I go to different casinos in Tunica and almost always at different times. He could take my card and pin number and I could take his when we each go and claim the free play. How would the casinos view this, it would get a new player into the casino that would not normally have come there. Would it hurt our comps if each didn’t play much on the others card? We both are in the top tier of our respective casinos.

Having read in the forums both positive and negative about casino hosts, I'm interested in knowing more about them: what's their typical workday like, how do they make their money, and why does it seem like so many move from casino to casino?

Do you think Las Vegas has a track in its future? I know I'd spend some time and money there on each visit to the city if they had one. Or maybe there is one I don't know about? Betting and watching the races in a sports book is fine, but it's not the same experience as going out for a day or night at the track and watching, hearing, and smelling the horse races in person. Seems like a natural. Any chance? If not, why?

I enjoy watching the Olympics and was wondering if any of the sports books in town will take bets on any of the events. If so, which will they be and when do they start? I went to several books recently and the folks working at the counters didn't know.

What casinos in the Las Vegas area have the most slot/video poker machines?

Can you compile a list of all the celebrities that entered the Main Event of the WSOP this year and what place they finished in? Thanks.

If I understood your QoD on keno correctly, keno machine odds are better than live keno odds due to the lower amounts that can be wagered and the speed with which machines can be played. But what about the randomness of chance for each game? Live keno seems to leave no doubt that the results are purely the result of chance; every game is visible to the player. However, a keno machine suggests that management can and does control the results. Is this correct? If so, to what extent? Live keno odds are difficult as is. But are machine results also the result of pure chance?

When you really pay attention to the table games, it’s amazing how many variations there are in dealing procedures —- from the rules employed to how the cards or dice are handled. It seems to me that after all this time, there must be one best way to do things and it must be known. So why are there so many variations?

I heard on the radio yesterday there had been a change in the way the final table for the main event of the WSOP was going to be broadcasted on ESPN. If so, do you have the correct information on this matter?
