I recently returned from Mexico, Riveria Maya. The resort had a casino (closed for repairs at the time), but from what I could learn and see for myself it contained one blackjack table, a roulette wheel and at least two banks of slot machines (approximately 24). It was always my understanding that casino gambling was not legal in Mexico. Has it changed? If so, any plans for a large casino/resort?

While making a recent farewell visit to the Riviera, we noticed how many more of its slots have progressives than the Caesars Entertainment properties we play at. I understand that normally casinos have to transfer the progressive amount to another machine on the floor if they remove a progressive. What happens in the case a casino closing for good like the Riviera, what happens to all those accumulated progressive jackpots?

I was hoping to avoid a long registration line for the new World Series of Poker Colossus event by pre-registering. Reading the info, however, it looks like you still need to stand in line to sign a release form and complete registration. Is there any way to avoid a long wait in line when flying in the night before?

Was trying to get to Vegas just to be in town for the big fight, until I saw some of the prices for that weekend... $400/night for the Golden Nugget? $267 a night for El Cortez [vintage room no less!]? Have you ever seen such prices like this before?

Did Liberace really have a private casino in his Vegas home? How was this legal?

We received a lot of feedback about the recent QoD we ran regarding social gaming, so to put the matter to rest once and for all, today we revisit the question: Is Internet social gambling regarded and regulated like regular gambling?

Recently, the NBA commissioner said he would consider support for the legalization of sports betting in the U.S. I also heard that five states have introduced bills seeking to legalize sports betting in their states. Can you give us any updates on New Jersey’s lawsuit? Do you think there will ever be a day when we can stop on the way home and put a few bucks on our favorite pro sports team from anywhere in the states?

Your Top Ten Values has the $1 blackjack games at the Riviera in the #7 spot. I checked it out and the game is dealt from a continuous shuffler and naturals pay 6-5. How can you recommend that as any kind of deal, let alone a "Top Ten"?

Taking my 90-year-old aunt and uncle to Vegas in July for their first time. Being bingo fanatics, I'm hoping there is a bingo game somewhere on the Strip near Bellagio. Help!

I read somewhere about the frequency of royal flushes for different video poker games. For non-wild card games, why wouldn't the odds of getting a royal be the same for all games?
