It's a trend at Nevada casinos, hit a taxable and they squash your card. Obviously that is not good for business. Gaming should go after them or at least help them by setting some basic guidelines of what's good and what's bad for business. Punishing winners is bad for business. No wonder Nevada is losing business to the other states.
Part of the problem is applying the table game model to slots. In tables games you have to watch individual players (and dealers), because one player could suck you dry. If an individual player is sucking a slot dry there's something wrong with the slot machine. You can't cheat a slot like you can a table game and since every hand is a full reshuffle you can't count or track the deck either. It is possible that a slot is set too loose, in which case you should thank the player for finding it for you and reset it tighter or fix whatever the problem is. Bottom line: you do have to protect table games from customer and employee cheating but slot machines are supposed to be foolproof, if you want more hold tighten the machine return. Don't sweat machine players, that's bad for business. The machine is always the problem, if it's too loose, tighten it or take it out!

The thing is, this guy wouldn't know a video poker strategy if it bit him in the ass, much less the strategy for the game he was playing, Multi-Strike 9/6 Bonus Deluxe. Dude, just got into a good run, so they squashed him.
