I have just spent many frustrating hours trying to co-ordinate my gambling log and the win-loss statements I’ve received from casinos where I played in 2013. I am so confused. None of the numbers on these statements match up with my own very detailed records. What figures should I use on my federal income tax return?

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?
