I know that if a person wins a jackpot of $1,200 or more, he/she would have to claim it on their IRS. My question is: Would a person still have to file a claim with the IRS if that person won several $500 jackpots, totaling more than a couple thousand dollars, either at the same or several casinos in a weekend?

I have a question for your office golf expert. For the first time in all of our trips to Vegas, we are looking at playing golf. We will be in town for the NASCAR race last of February.

I asked Bob Dancer once if there was ANY "advantage" to playing the multi-line video poker machines and he said "No. The odds remain the same no matter how many games you play at one time."

Doesn't the chance of getting a dealt royal flush change the overall odds?

Back in October 2008 on LVA’s blackjack-tournament message boards, Anthony Curtis made mention of an upcoming QoD about early tournament teams to clear up the long-standing confusion as to whether A.C. and WSOP Champion Russ Hamilton had been on the same team. Whatever became of that? It's been three months. Are there really that many Qs in the queue that it hasn't come up yet?

Fitzgeralds downtown seems to be in a state of limbo. They say a new owner is taking over soon. The gift shop is not allowed to restock and that’s since October ’08. Who owns Fitzgeralds now? Did Don B lose it?

I recently won a $2,400 jackpot at a locals casino in Vegas. Once the slot attendant & staff paid out my money, I really didn't have a clue how much if any to tip her. Should one tip the staff on a jackpot winner? If so, what are the tipping guidelines?

Considering they are in every filling station, 24-hour convenience store, and mom & pop restaurant, as well as casinos ... just how many video poker machines would you estimate were in Las Vegas/Clark County?

With all the hype that surrounded the new Pong video slot machine, every place we heard that had the game had already removed them. What happened?
