I do not understand why so many people fear W2G's. The more the better and the more jackpots the better. Isn't that really the name of the game in video poker?
More concerning to me would be playing for points & slot club status than playing for as many W2G's as possible.

I really like the Horseshoe and probably will be mid diamond by years end. I have to be careful about W-2's. On social security and husband pension and I do not want to have to pay extra for medicare,real estate taxes, etc. And since I am from Illinois, Indiana takes out almost 4 percent tax that I do not see as I am not a professional gambler and cannot file as such. In total I had few 4/kinds and no 4 deuces. Lost about $800 but 2 years ago won a total of $14,000 w2's which put us over the limit for some real estate exemptions.
