My friend observed Maureen O'Connor playing at a California Indian Casino several years ago. She had a dedicated employee sitting by her to write up W-2G's. She required a W2-G for every 2pair or better. If he recalled correctly, she was playing JOB at $1000 per hand.

Even at triple play $25 JoB, you're still only getting one for each time you get a full house plus something else (or dealt flush or straight etc) on a $375 bet.

Say she was playing $100 JoB, and had a dedicated employee sitting next to her writing W-2Gs for every three of a kind and up. 47.3% of her wins still wouldn't hit the threshold. She'd have $1b in W-2G wins and $906m in non-W-2G wins, plus $1.92b in losses (accounting for her net loss).
