For this reason I could never play for high stakes. Every time a
hand-pay is hit they would deduct 30% of the win. Wouldn't take too long
before the bankroll has disappeared into witholdings.

Wouldn't see the refund for many, many months. You would effectively be giving Uncle Sam an interest-free loan.


I can see objecting to an "interest free loan" being a gut-level "principle of the thing" reaction, but in practice, interest rates are so low it's pretty negligible.

Insofar as the 30% of W2G amount goes, yes that would require a loan to the US for a half-year on average --- but you get it back. It's a factor to consider bankroll-wise, but it doesn't have to be a showstopper. By the time your bankroll is getting small from this year's withholdings, you're getting your refund check from last year! In a way, it's a forced savings account.

If the games were good enough (big if!), this could be managed easily enough

I see a stateside drivers license in your future.

Also, no gambling tax in Canada, am I right eh?

Plus unrestricted online gambling.

Must be tough.

I had been anxiously awaiting news on this but you are the first one to say anything. I can't find an article on it, do you have a link? Does anyone have a link? Great news, though.

RE: [vpFREE] Re: No Spoil with This Royal

 

.............no choice when you're Canadian .......Vegas trips may be a
thing of the past with a 70 cent dollar and a IRS that not only gouges us
but also holds back our refunds when we file. I had a some winning from
February 2014, filed in January 2015 and I am being told (Because I'm
outside the US) I will have to wait a minimum of 9 months. There is just no
incentive to coming down anymore. It will be even worse when the tax limit
is dropped down to $600 on winnings.

Tax? You don't have a US Social Security number so they agreed to pay you
minus a withheld tax? You had to show them your passport?

Normally there is no tax withheld in Nevada unless you request it or refuse
to disclose your tax ID number.

>the Progressive for Jacks or Better at Claudes bar was at $1070.00, as I scanned the different machines trying to pick one that I thought could be lucky when I noticed something very strange. One of the machines at the far end of the bar for Jacks or Better showed a progressive amount as $1747.37

Meters freeze like that occasionally. I hit a progressive jackpot at
the Frontier a few seconds after someone else did. It was such a
small interval that the higher amount showed on my screen. They
wanted to pay me the lesser amount. One time, in Atlantic City, I was
playing a Joker's Wild progressive. The progressive was for 5 of a
kind. I was dealt 4 of a kind. 2 friends were with me. I made it a
little dramatic as I delayed hitting the "draw" button. Before I did,
I heard a buzzer go off a few machines away. They paid us both the
higher amount.

[vpFREE] No Spoil with This Royal

 

Was in Vegas last week and wanted to share a little story with you. I hit a couple of Royals the first two days. Stayed at the Golden Nugget downtown. On my first night I noticed the Progressive for Jacks or Better at Claudes bar was at $1070.00, as I scanned the different machines trying to pick one that I thought could be lucky when I noticed something very strange. One of the machines at the far end of the bar for Jacks or Better showed a progressive amount as $1747.37, so I doubled checked all the other bar Machines and they all had the lower posted amount. So I figured this was a no brainer so I quickly sat down and started hammering away at the buttons. After about 15 minutes of play I noticed that the progressive amount had not moved even a penny while the big bar displayed a continually changing amount but still a lot lower than my machine showed. Then it happpened, got dealt 4 diamonds to the Royal, needed the Queen, I touched the deal/Draw button very slow and softly and BANG! there it was in all its glory the Beautiful Queen of Diamonds.


I was obviously happy at my good fortune but a little concerned and worried that there may be some controversy about what the final payout would be. I was surprised when the attendant arrived to tell me that they were obligated to pay what was showing on the screen. The funny part was that the scrolling screen above the bar was announcing that there was a Royal progressive winner on Machine 4700 for a total win of $1073.80. After 30 minutes out came the hand pay for the full amount $1748 minus the tax which was a whopping $524. The attendant then cleared the machine and asked me to play one hand which I did and the same jackpot of $1747.37 was sill embeded on the screen, a call for a technician was quickly made and they were there in a flash. As he was resetting the machine he mumbled that if I hit a Royal that there was no way I would be getting that amount. My lips were sealed. What a start to the trip. I hit an uneventful Royal at Bally's the next night but again very happy at my luck.


Shortly afterwards after being showered with dollar bills don't I walk into a heavy downpour at the Crap tables pit just outside the Gold Tower elevators but this time it was real water pouring from the sky causing all the pit bosses and crew scurrying for cover. See the video here. https://youtu.be/Kg_RGp6mA5k
