Marvin,
If you had your card inserted in the machine, the casinos will have a
record of your wins and also your losses. Just call them up and they will
mail/fax it to you. You can legally apply any losses against any wins.
I believe the IRS almost "expects" you to lose. After all, they know the
odds are with the House.
Good Luck!

I am new to Video Poker but I had a good year in 2010 and received a couple
of W-2G forms.
The fellow who does my taxes told me I had to pay tax on the total as I
have no other records.
I think I am stuck for last year but I have vowed to get religion this
year and keep some sort of diary.
What is the best way to do it?
