would generate a W2G for a royal. ...If you had a "lot" of free play
(say $1,000 or more) to pick up and didn't have an hour's time to play
it off on quarters, using this strategy on a $1 or $2 denomination might
be a "mostly safe" alternative. >>
The easier way to deal with this problem is for the person picking up
the free play to play video blackjack. That game has no possibility
whatsoever of generating a tax report. The VBJ rules in most casinos
tend to be pretty bad, but rarely have a return much worse than playing
a royal flush-averse VP strategy. You can play VBJ for as many dollars
a hand as you please, and get it done very fast. The much lower
variance of VBJ can be attractive, too. And if the person picking up
the free play isn't a skilled VP player, he can probably learn quickly
to play the VBJ a lot more accurately.
You know, just because you think of yourself as a VP player doesn't mean
that's the ONLY game you can ever play. :-)
