My wife and I enjoy certain slot machines more than others. How do I obtain a listing of which slot machines are in which casinos? Can I get that information online from a single source?

Do the casinos ever employ "shills" to work the Texas hold 'em tables?

Do you have any idea of approximately how many slot machines are in each of the major Strip casinos, along with the larger casinos off the Strip?

I'm curious about what the various colored lights on top of slot machines stand for. You know, red =, yellow =, blue =, etc. I understand they indicate various denomination machines, but which color corresponds with each amount? I especially need to know how to spot the nickel machines. Thanks!

I keep seeing the term RNG, or random number generator, as the "brains" behind the operating system of slot and video poker machines. What exactly is the RNG?

Would you advise me to bring my Social Security card to Las Vegas? I never have, as security experts advise you not to carry it. But do you have to show it if you win above the W-2G threshold? Or can you just provide them with the number without the SS card for proof?

What are my chances of being dealt four to a royal and drawing the fifth card? Also, what are my chances of being dealt a royal? And finally, what are my chances of being dealt a sequential royal?

Regarding your recent question about origins of the words "jackpot" and "bingo," is it possible to do the same for the word "keno?"

I was playing at Terrible's last week and had a matchplay coupon out when I was dealt a blackjack. The pit boss instructed the dealer to pay me 3 for 2 on the chips I had bet, but only even money on the coupon. Was this the correct pay out? If so, is that the standard pay out when using a matchplay and being dealt a BJ in most Las Vegas casinos?

What's up with all the different kinds of video poker games? I swear, everytime I turn around, there's a new name I've never seen before. It seems to me it would be less confusing for players — and thus more profitable for game makers — if they just stuck to the basics, like Jacks, Deuces and Jokers, and Bonus.
