In researching slot articles, I read that "a new slot machine costs approximately $9,000 to $11,000. In Nevada it normally takes a casino about 100 days of operation to recoup the investment." One hundred days seems very long to recoup the cost of a slot machine. On average how much do Strip and downtown casinos make per day? Also, what slot machine is the most expensive slot machine to have ever been purchased?

A story from Bloomberg says that the LVH Superbook has 14 players holding tickets for Auburn to win the national championship at 1,000-1 odds. Can a player offer to sell the bet back to the casino (before the final game)? Are players allowed to sell bets to other players?

I was driving east on Fremont and saw about three blocks of "heritage" motels on the north side all boarded up and fenced off. Is this part of some project to restore them or are they all just going to be torn down?

What ever happened to Nevada Numbers? Is it still around?

With keno disappearing from the casino eateries, is there any talk of maybe any other type of gambling while you eat coming in the future like maybe a mini touch screen sports book or slots?

Somewhere during the past two months I read that some casinos sell, through their gift shops, "Win Cards," where you pay $20 for $30 worth of free play. The great part about these promotional "chips" is that they don't lose their value until you lose the hand. In other words, the casino continues to pay you for their value as long as you continue to win, rather than being "swept" after a single use. Does LVA know about these cards?

I seem to remember a story related to a recent QoD (11/14/13), where a Gaming Control agent, Ron Harris, was upset by the murder of "the witness" and he began to figure ways to cheat the casinos by rigging slot machines and was able to predict the outcome of keno games. Do you know anything about this?

What happened to the announced blog of James Grosjean?

I heard there are some casinos that offer free bingo. Is that true?

I have a quick question and hopefully you can give me a quick answer: I'm coming out to Vegas for the WSOP final table. Can you give me the names of the casinos that I can bet on for the winner? Also the present odds would help too. Thanks
