All the tax software programs I have used prompt you to individually type in the W-2G's, but you can exit the interview and manually enter gambling wins or you can fib in the interview and say you have no W-2G's or 1099's to enter. Even if you enter all the individual W-2G's, I think that info may just be retained for your records and only the necessary tax form information transmitted to the IRS.
One year I made the mistake of trying to enter all my W-2G's separately only to discover after about 20 entries that I had reached the max number of entries allowed by the software. I was sooooo mad!
