I have seen you mention a "slot route" several times in your QoD. What exactly is a "slot route?"

Given the spread of 6-5 blackjack, what is the impact on the casino advantage if, instead of taking the 6-5 payoff, you instead double down? Will casinos allow this?

If you hit a natural royal flush on a 100 play video poker machine, for tax purposes is that counted as 100 separate payouts that do not need to be reported, or is it one big payout that must be reported?

I hear Jean Scott often talk about stopping by to pick up bounce-back cash. Sometimes Brad even picks it up for her. Isn't she penalized in some way (maybe in future offers) by just picking it up and not playing?

I know there are lines offshore for who will win the presidency. Can you tell me who’s favored and by what odds?

The host question (QoD 8/10/08) was not answered... Just a book promoed. Please answer.

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?
