The wife and I were leaving Palace Station one night and passed by the
$1 DDB bank with the $50,000 payoff for a sequential royal. The wife
says, "OMG, someone just hit the sequential ... Look what they held!"
I couldn't believe my eyes. They had held the 10H because it was in
first position and drawn 4. I looked at my wife without a word and we
burst into simultaneous laughter.

Re: [vpFREE] Harrah's or Harvery's in Lake Tahoe?

We stayed one night in each and much preferred Harrahs even though the
casino is smaller, the room is nicer.

I had was dealt four 9s on a $10 Jacks machine at an Indian casino last
Saturday afternoon and was given a W-2G along with the $1250. And I've
never experienced any withholding.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: What's the dumbest play you've witnessed that worked?

The dumbest play I ever saw was in blackjack. I think it was at the Showboat in Atlantic city.
Some guy split faces, everyone at the table groaned, and he pulled two ace's on top of them.

They would be correct holds for some versions of OEJs and wait till
quick quads comes out in May, then 23 and 34 suited are quite often the
correct holds for DDB.

RE: [vpFREE] Indian Casinos and Tax Withholding

If you bet $1 and win $1500 it is a non W2G $1499 win for Keno. The clip
below is from the 2008 IRS.

The winnings (reduced by the wager) are $1,500 or more tournaments) for
federal income tax. This is referred to as from a keno game,

The winnings (not reduced by the wager) are $1,200 or more otherwise noted.
from a bingo game or slot machine,

Do the same rules apply as in LV? That is, W2G monies withheld if a
win exceeds 1200? I visited an Indian casino in Seattle yesterday and
witnessed a $1500 win, but nothing was withheld. The winner didn't
even have to provide their name or any ID. The game was paper Keno.

You should be able to intrepret my dangling participles by now. :)
And, of course, it's the latter that is correct for FH and GVR.

Ed, if you are looking for regular vanilla, run of the mill FPDW, there are
still more than 20 different casinos listed on the positive deuces wild page
in the cross directory here: http://members.cox.net/vpfree/CDDW.htm
In Dick's response, I can't tell if he is trying to say that FPDW is only
available at GVR and FH, which is wrong, or if he is trying to advise you
that FPDW is only available in quarters or lower, which is right. Hope this

Ah, there's the rub, eh? LOL

Certainly, a major strip casino would never rig a drawing, would it?
Wouldn't that be bad for business? Isn't that actually illegal?

It's a nice drive as long as it's not pouring cats and dogs like it
usually does to me.

I was playing FPDW at the western several years ago and noticed the guy
behind me on a DDB. When he was dealt a total trash hand he would hold
23, 24, 34 if they were available. I had a good laugh about it. Then
I heard a commotion behind me and turned to see that he held 34 and
caught 333.

That happened to me once by accident. I held one deuce, but
accidentally also hit another hold button, holding a jack, and drew
the other three deuces. What a surprise.

But the dumbest intentional thing I've seen that worked was at the LV
Hilton when they had the full pay Loose Deuces. There were only two
machines, and they were separated so that one player couldn't play
both. I was playing one, a lady came up and started playing the
other. After just a few minutes she hit the four deuces. I looked
over to see what she had held. She had held one ace, and got all four
deuces on the draw.
