If a dealer makes a mistake and accidently pays you off on a losing wager or fails to pick up a losing wager, should you point it out to him? Will the casino act against you in any way? Is there a law against it?

My broker just told me that the Nevada teacher's union wants to increase the gambling tax by 3%. He said that if it happens, casino stocks will tumble. How likely is this tax to happen? And if it does, will it have as dramatic an impact on my gambling stocks as my broker says?

Why do casinos move slot machines and VP machines constantly?

You mentioned in a previous QoD that we can deduct our gambling losses on our taxes up to the amount we won. So I'd like to know how we can prove our losses.

What factor(s) caused a decrease in the number of entrants in this year WSOP Main Event?

In the QoD on 08/22/07, you said the Russian Mafia has been involved in extorting money from online gambling sites. How is this possible? To extort money from someone you have to have something over them don't you?

I've read More Frugal Gambling and practice with WinPoker. I can now play several different video poker games without making any tactical errors. But I can't seem to find many 100%-plus games to play. I find myself spending all kinds of time looking for "a good game" instead of just playing! I want to increase my chances to win, of course, but I now feel guilty if I don't play the best machine possible. Is it really such a bad thing to play less than 100% EV games in the short term?

I know that many Texas hold 'em hands have a name. For instance, almost everyone knows that a 10-2 is called the "Brunson," because he won two WSOP events with that hand. I've heard the 10-3 is called the "Weinberg." What is the origin of this name. In fact, do you have a list of poker hand names and their origins?

I heard that the highest price ever paid by a collector for a casino chip was $75,000, at the 2005 Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club convention. True? If so, what was the chip and why was it considered so valuable.
