A video poker expert claims that VP machines are programmed with "hot and cold" cycles to bring the machines up or down to their specified payout percentages. Other experts claim that each deal is random, based on a 52-card deck. Both sides support their positions by quoting gaming regulations. Which is correct?

Are there any casinos that offer 25¢ roulette? My husband and I used to play 25¢ roulette at the former Binion's Horseshoe and on the Strip at Casino Royale, but they don't seem to offer it any longer. Also, how can I find the low-limit ($2 or $3) crap tables without traveling from casino to casino in search of them?

If you're only in Vegas for a short time with your partner (less than a week), and you're not a regular visitor, what's the best way to maximize value from a slot club for that trip? Should you sign up for a joint account and hope to rack up enough play between you for some cashback or comps on that one trip? Or is it better to play on individual cards?

With the popularity of televised Texas hold 'em poker, it seems that most card rooms in Vegas that I have visited are ignoring the other types of games. Although they list that they spread other games, usually there are no tables open when I arrive. Could you tell me what card rooms consistently spread 7-card stud?

I've noticed that most of the casinos are doing away with coin slots and going with paper tickets. Where can we find the casinos that still allow you to drop in nickels or quarters and receive coins instead of the tickets? I miss the noise of the casino that the slots used to give, as well as collecting the various dollar coins.
