Re: [vpFREE] Wisconsin W2G For Illinois Resident

 

You will have to file a Wisconsin non-resident return and pay whatever the tax rate is for Wisconsin. (I have never had a WI W2G.)Note: Any W2G from any state is considered income in IL.Important: See next paragraph since if you paid tax in Wisconsin, you can offset it on the IL return.
You will then have to include, with your IL return, an IL-1040CR on which you claim a credit on your IL return, any Wisconsin (or any other state) income tax you paid up to the 3.75%*. If the W2G was from last year then up to 5%. Effectively, if the state tax for Wisconsin is less than IL you will be paying the difference to IL. I am more familiar with IN versus IL as I am an IL resident who is the vpfree2 monitor for the Majestic Star in IN. Since IN rate is 3.4% less exemptions, you pay a little more than 0.35% of your IN W2G to IL!
*The IL legislature might raise this!
Note: I do not practice as a CPA but I do hold a CPA license in IL so I am not a complete idiot on this subject.

I'm just hoping. As Harry stated, there were offers last year that were individualized (I believe) based on your play, etc. As I recall, the offers came in the form of an email and mine included an airfare component and a free play component. As I am basically a Seven Stars who stops at 150,000 TCs, my offers last year were not particularly enticing.


I may end up cancelling my Tahoe Event and go there at another time when I am not a small fish in a small pond with a lot of big fish.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: 2015 Seven Stars Signature Events

 

As Las Vegas is where I regularly play, I have monthly Free Play offers. When I was registering for the specific Signature Event choices I asked about the chance of additional Free Play (as they allowed last year). I was told that I should ask my host to see if it can be authorized. Like others have noted, it appears our LV hosts can sometimes get something extra authorized since we have been pointing out how much our regular offers have dropped ;)

sounds like the  one at the Las Vegas Club . two  machines have been at the same amount for probably close to 3 years that I know  of. 9 out of 10 needed for the top prize. I did hit a 9 out of 10, but very low payoff  considering  what the  jackpot is. Thank you for your answer...

The meter has most likely capped. I've seen this before where a ten-spot progressive (frequency 8.9 million) caps out and sits on that number forever.You could go several lifetimes playing everyday and not hit a ten spot.

Is that true on the progressive keno machines too that  are capped? Have never seen anything posted on the progressive keno  at the  las vegas  club.  (Over $96,000 plus)

Maybe  I am just  not looking in the  right area?  This  is a 5 cent keno prgressive machine. .maximum play  is 20 cents..four nickles...progressive hooked to two machines ... ..

In Nevada, if there is a cap on a progressive, it has to be stated clearly on or near the machine, otherwise it is a violation. Caps are not gambler friendly as you lose the meter movement part of your return as soon as the cap hits. Sometimes the cap is unintentional and will be released by a key person, othertimes the cap was intentional and the gamblers complaining will get 86'd for noticing. So, as always in a casino, the overall optimal strategy is not clear. We look through the spyglass darkly, as the pirates used to say.

Yep. What's the return? It might be an overlay. Wizard has a keno calculator, otherwise the 10 spot cycles are:

0:21.84
1:5.57
2:3.39
3:3.74
4:6.79
5:19.44
6:87.11
7:621
8:7,384
9:163,381
10:8,911,711

Divide each return by the cycle and total it up and compare to the cost of the ticket to see if you have an overlay or not. The nice thing about Keno is what you get is what you get, no chance of making play mistakes like in Video Poker or Video Blackjack. Also everyone thinks Keno is the worst game in the casino so you get the best comps and bounceback and financial sympathy for your loses. Of course get ready for the total casino personality transformation that happens when you finally hit a big one. Not all Keno games are the same, many are the worst allowed by law in the casino, but some are overlays, you just have to look around to find the nuggets hidden among the horse dookey.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: 2015 Seven Stars Signature Events

 

We just reserved the Las Vegas event and also hope they will let us add in some Free Play when we get closer to the date. It is also the easiest and least expensive for us to travel to. I liked the choice of concerts. Also, a nice choice of options for the brunch. I really do wish they still had the cruise option that I enjoyed for the last two years.....sigh....
