Of your featured blogs, James Grosjean's "Beyond Numbers" hasn't been updated since February 9th. What's up?

With the somewhat "normalization" of relations with Cuba, have you heard and rumblings about possible gaming activity moving onto the island?

As the World Series of Poker is in full swing at the Rio, I wonder what ever happened to all the talk of moving it to Caesars? Seems like the new CEO of Caesars would love the publicity the event brings to be focused on their premier property.

Dear LVA pros, if the Hi-Lo Lite count in Arnold Syder’s book Blackbelt in Blackjack uses a "true edge" rather than a "true count," how does this affect how I read the indices? For example, when Snyder's table says "stand on a 12 vs. 2 when you have a count of +2," does this mean a true count of +2 or a true edge of +2%? And if the table is using true-count numbers, what’s the point of using a true-edge calculation? How do I know what my 2% advantage in the true edge translates to in a true count?

What is the status of Dotty’s and their opening of casinos?

LVA reported that the fantasy event with Tony Romo at the Venetian was canceled due to the NFL flexing their muscle on Las Vegas policy. I noticed, however, that a similar event with Mike Ditka and Brandon Marshall and others scheduled for the following week at the Wynn, has of today not been canceled. What gives? Does Steve Wynn have some extra bit of clout?

What's the status of the IRS initiative to force casinos to issue W-2Gs for $600+ slot jackpots instead of $1,200+ (as they do now)? Is there anything we as players can do to voice our displeasure and help prevent this from happening?

James Bond is a famous gambler and we almost always know what game he's playing. But in the 1974 movie, The Man With The Golden Gun, bond is playing in a Macao casino. He is sitting at a large table -- sort of like a craps table -- and people make bets and then other people, sitting up above out of sight, lower a little basket on a string and the people playing either put money in the basket or take money out. The little basket then goes back up and they play again. Any idea what game they were playing? It looked very festive and had many players -- 10 sitting downstairs, another 8-10 sitting upstairs. Thank you very much.

Here’s one that I can't get the answer to, not even from the casinos. Comp points are lower for video poker than for slots, but what if you play the other games in the video machines? Video blackjack is available in most of the multi-game machines. How would that be comped, as a slot machine or as a video poker machine? Good luck getting an answer, I’ve tried.

I was recently in the Las Vegas Airport and noticed a few people playing the slot machines. I was wondering if anyone has ever hit a large jackpot? If so, what was the amount?
