Dear Mark,

I am a keno writer who works in Las Vegas. One of our regular customers asked if I knew how many different number combinations are possible in keno. I told him "in the thousands" but I wasn't sure. How many possibilities are there? Diane S.

You were off, Diane, a few quintillion. To be exact, there are 3, 535, 316, 142, 212, 174, 320 numerical combinations using 20 balls with 80 numbers to choose from.

Dear Mark,

In Las Vegas a few casinos now offer 100X odds on a crap game. What is the house advantage on this bet? Tim T.

The house edge is 0.09%. As minuscule as this is, Tim, you better be capitalized to the hilt before you embrace this wager. Two or three seven-out, line away calls and you're in the poorhouse.

Bonuses are an incentive for customers to try out a casino's software - and there's no rule against winning with the money!

Think of it like the free spin a land-based casino gives you in order to entice you into their casino - you could end up a millionaire (though obviously few do) - but with an online casino bonus everyone has the chance to make a few bucks!

"A couple of my friends and I decided to get a room at the pretty new Hilton Grand Vacations which is located right next to the Las Vegas Hilton. We were pretty impressed with the hot tub, washer/dryer, 2 TVs, and full size fridge and kitchen in our room. I recommend this hotel for those of you who want to get away from all of that gambling during your stay. Gambling is only a few steps away at the Hilton next door. The pool outside is a bit small, but I'm sure that sneaking into bigger pools at bigger hotels isn't a problem! We typically just spent our days at the Mandalay Bay Sports Book for the races and "gamble hopped" through all the other casinos just to see if we could strike it rich!!" -Masaki

And a comment about last week's Trip Report:

"Read your article on trip to Grand Tunica. Mostly agree. However, their "background" music is very bad, loud and overwhelming. Makes one wonder why such loud is inflicted upon their patrons." -Earl
