When a hand is dealt in video poker, are the bottom five cards dealt at the same time? Does it affect the outcome by waiting in holding and drawing? I thought I had read that all ten cards were dealt at once. However, on "Modern Marvels" (History Channel), they said the RNG kept running until the cards were drawn.

My wife and I go to Vegas every six weeks or so and would like to know if there are any cigar/piano bars left. I don't mean a honky-tonk bar, just easy jazz and martinis. The last good one was Hamilton's at New York-New York.

I was wondering what is the worth of the gold nugget in the Golden Nugget hotel? And what is the history of that gold nugget (i.e., who found it, where was it found, when was it found, etc.)

2006 is the 75th anniversary of legalized gambling in Nevada. It would be cool if you could explain how Nevada happened to go into the gambling business back in 1931.

Let's say you enter a satellite tournament for the World Series of Poker and manage to win one of the $10,000 entries. You then, of course, get knocked out in the main tournament, long before you reach the money. What are the tax implications of winning your entry fee? On the one hand, you didn't win any actual cash. On the other, the seat has a definite $10K value. I'd hate to be on the hook for $10K worth of ordinary income that I never actually saw. That would make playing in the WSOP a very expensive lark, even via satellite entry.
