As promised yesterday, here's much of your feedback from the previous Reader Poll, regarding which vanishing and obsolete casino games you miss the most -- some of which we'll investigate on your behalf, as soon as time permits.

Two readers respond: "Your 10/24/13 QoD answer says, 'Places like ... Panaca ... have at least one bar with some bartop video poker and slot machines, though no bona fide casino.' The Wikipedia entry for Panaca, NV says, 'It is the only municipality in Nevada to be 'dry' (forbidding the sale of alcoholic beverages), and the only community in Nevada besides Boulder City that prohibits gambling.' If Wiki is right, it sounds as if a Panaca bar with video poker would present a couple of conflicts -- what's the real story?" And: "Doesn't Cal-Nev-Ari have a casino, contrary to what today's QoD says? Not a huge one, but 30+ machines and at least one table."

I've recently been hearing about something called a "concession fee" that's been showing up a some Strip restaurants such as Sugar Factory and Senor Frog's. What's the deal?

This is from your 8/29/13 Question of the Day: "Following a string of high-profile incidents over the past couple of years, involving patrons and staff at day/nightlife venues at Planet Hollywood, Palms, and Hard Rock..." I'm curious about these incidents to which you referred. More information, please!

All I keep hearing is how Caesars Entertainment is deep in debt to the tune of $23 billion, and possibly going to file bankruptcy, yet they get money to fund the Linq, the Quad, Gansevoort, the room upgrades in the Jubilee Tower rooms at Bally’s, and now talk of doing the same for the Jubilee Tower suites and the Octavius Tower at Caesars. How’s that possible? Who’s lending them the money, when the company’s finances are in such dire straits?

A year or so ago, you reported that for the first time in history, casinos took in more revenue from non-casino sources than from gambling. I just read a report by the American Gaming Association (AGA) that states that ‘more than two-thirds of industry revenue is generated on the casino floor, while the remaining third is generated via the food and beverage, hotel and other lines of business within the commercial casino properties.’ So which is correct? I know that you can make statistics say anything you want, but am I interpreting these two statements wrong?

What is the deal with the Jockey Club? I cannot believe it is still able to exist on such a prized piece of land wedged in the middle of Cosmo and Bellagio.Why wouldn’t MGM or the original developer of Cosmo buy it? Who owns it? I found their website and they still rent rooms apparently. I have wondered this for a while and really tweaked my interest last visit. Thank you!

How can a person find out what casinos have their favorite slot machines? I know Boyd casinos maintain an online listing and search, but how about others? Also, is there a central listing anywhere for Las Vegas?
