Understanding that casinos need to meet bottom-line figures, why should they continue to try and rip off the general public by putting more 6-5 blackjack games on the floor? Do they really think people do not understand gaming that much?

In your answer on 6/20/07, you wrote that on the $2,500 video poker machines, you get a W-2G for a high pair. Are there really $2,500 machines, where you need $12,500 to load it up? And can you explain to me why you'd need tax documentation for a push -- you're not really winning anything, you're just getting your money back.

Now that the New Frontier is closed and the auction is set for July 26th, do you know if another casino bought that mechanical horse racing game they had in the back of the casino? Luxor has one that races camels, but do you know of any other casinos that offer this game?

We recently ran a question about TITO tickets and the danger of having them snatched from your machine. We received a lot of interesting feedback from our readers on the subject, so we thought we'd pass on some of your observations and tips.

I am not a high stakes gambler by any means; usually I take $500 for a three-day stay in LV. But, I am willing to wager $5 in BJ, or play with $100 on a $5 crap table. Most casinos today open $15, $25 and $50 tables with very few if any $5 tables. Those $5 tables are always very crowded. I expect the casino to win my $500 while I visit, and I don't mind. What I do mind is the fact they want it all at once. Couldn't they give me a chance to lose it over a longer period of time, and still enjoy myself? I've walked away from tables, and kept my money in my pocket and spent it elsewhere, or just saved it. If they have dealers standing alone doing nothing at a $25 table, wouldn't it be worth their time and trouble to make it a $5 table and let us little guys have some fun? It's not like we are going to break their bank.

Whatever happened to the sport of Jai-Alai in Las Vegas? Will it ever make a comeback?

What does it mean when they call a poker tournament a "freeroll" tournament?

Sometimes I stand and watch my brother play a table game, Let It Ride for instance. When he leaves the table for one reason or another, I sit down and play for him while he's gone. The dealer doesn't seem to mind when I do this. But if I won a large jackpot while playing, would I be one to get a W-2G or would my brother since it is his money?

I've been watching Texas hold 'em tourneys on TV. Do they always burn a card on the flop, turn, and river cards and if so, why?

While cashing out at the cage at Caesars Palace I was told by the cashier that, starting on the 1st of July, I would need to provide my Social Security number (I had $4,000 in chips). Any idea what this new regulation is?
