Know your legal rights fellow Nters. $1200 or above is what is taxable via gambling w-2. That's on a per spin or per bet basis. If you're playing blackjack at $300/hand and have a come up of $1800 overall, that's not taxable in any regard at all.

AC sounds like a scummy place.

Now if you're betting $60 on roulette in various positions, and have a huge hit totaling more than $1200, they can get yo . But if you hit $1,150 constantly, they have nothing on you.

Point proven. Cousin hit $500, $700, and $400 in one evening on slots. Even with hand pays, he would put it all back in and eventually had a $1500 ticket. No taxes.

if you bring 10000 all at once to a teller you will get taxed, that's federal law

Can you point me in the right direction?

All I'm seeing at $10,000 is a CTR title 31 issue. More to do with anti money laundering practices where casinos make note of redemptions above $10,000. It would be advisable to mix up your tickets like someone mentioned they did. But I don't see taxes being an issue here.

Edit: I guess I'm confusing myself. Reading more on it. Slots, bingo, keno, and poker tournaments are set at their own w2g tax threshold. Table games are really iffy ad it appears many places can set their limits as an accumulated sum. Be careful out there. I'm truly no expert but know enough to question everything. Around here, there are video poker games, computerized craps/roulette/blackjack. I guess it's a good problem to have but try to know your games tax threshold

Craps is where its at to me. So many ways to make money. It took some time to get used to everything that was going on but once I caught on, I was hooked.

I usually play 6 and 8. If they hit I collect the first one then I will press twice and start to collect depending on the roller. I like to play the field, hard 6 and 8. Hell I hit on the 30-1 boxcars twice.

Love that game man.

I play craps 90% of the time. Ill hop in and out of few hands of blackjack with my wife to mess up the dealer. And ill put a bet on red only for roulette.

Craps though ... you gotta play the 6 & 8. My downfall is the field, i love it but damn it can be cruel. Ive yet to hit on any hards or C & E in 4 visits to vegas.


I find it better to play with less people, no more than 10. I hate those over crowded tables, they never seem.to do me any good despite when u not playin at it all the ppl yellin n cheerin all loud.

Some of the best luck i have on craps is when a newbie rolls, especially a female

That field can be your best friend or worse enemy, no in between. My boys homie was shooting one day and outta 22 rolls like 19 was field numbers. I caught all but 1.

I ain't gonna lie, if I'm up, every 6 or 7 rolls I'll throw 5 on the 12, joint pay 31-1 I think

Def can be the worst enemy.

One night cpl years ago every one os playing winning n losing but having fun. Out of nowhere comes this guy, looks half drunk and u can tell the way he showed up he was trying to recover.

After a roll he threw down 5 bills, got his chips they told him good luck. He sat out the next roll, but the next he put down 75 in the field. Nope

Next roll 50, nope
Sat out
Next roll 50, yes
Next roll 50, nope
Next roll 50, nope

After that he was goin 75 every roll losing every time. He was pissed.

Walked away, came back 5 min later put down another 5 bills. Lost it all on the field ONLY .. he was so heated. Im guessin he owed somebody bad but dude was lookin so desperate for a hit. Felt bad for his situation but realized it was his own fault.


When u losing i gotta know when to walk away. Same with winning
