Another reason that these may be in accurate is if the husband is playing on a wife's card and she gets a jackpot the jackpot goes into the wife's account even though has been physically was playing the machine and is issued the W-2 G .
And maybe they are in accurate just because they're in accurate, for example I just got a letter from one casino telling me they had accidentally sent the federal government a duplicate of One of the W-2 game I had received. One time I got a list of all of the W2G's from the IRS and it was wildly inaccurate, especially if I have received 2W2G's from one casino of the exact same amount the iris listed it as only one in some cases.
And of course sometimes people forget to put their card into the machine while playing or take it in and out missing a couple of hands.
This is why the IRS wants you to do a contemporary gaming diary as you're playing, and that is considered to be more reliable then when loss statements.
By the way do not mail copies of your win loss statements with your returns. This confuses the IRS. Only save them as backups to be used in the event of an audit and plan to show your gaming Diary as the primary proof of your wins and losses along with W2G statements. The win loss statement is only additional proof not the main proof.
