Slot Tournament

Post by wilcoxfun »

Hi all!
 
I went to the casino today to play in a small slot tournament.  You used to have to stand in line for about forty minutes to get a chance to sign up.  I went up and signed up.  I was the only person signing in.  I then went and waited for about four minutes.  Played in the tournament.  Did HORRIBLE and decided to head home. The top prize was $1,000 and they paid out to the 25 place.  I am wondering if I might end up still in the money LOL!  There were three other people playing.  I will let you know if I get into the money.  I did beat those individuals.

Then you should be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

Sounds like a promotion gone bad... although $1,000 seems like a low 1st place prize so they probably weren't putting a lot into promoting it.

Interesting thing about the promotion is I did not know about the tournamnet.  I never saw any information about it in mailings.  Of course sometimes I feel I am overwhelmed with mailings and no offers (I WANT CASH not a ticket to see the guys down under!)  I went in to get a free (COUGH COUGH) meal and stopped at the booth and was told about it.
 
I will be going back up on Friday and will find out more information.

WINNING IN A SLOT TOURNAMENT IS CONSIDERED A PRIZE. ANY PRIZE OR ACCUMULATIVE OF PRIZES OF $600 OR MORE AT ONE CASINO YOU WILL PROBABLY GET A 1099 FOR FILING YOUR TAXES

  ANY PRIZE OR ACCUMULATIVE OF PRIZES OF $600 OR MORE AT ONE CASINO YOU WILL PROBABLY GET A 1099 FOR FILING YOUR TAXES  You noted probably get a 1099. Do you know for fact that one will receive a 1099? Any casino employees on this site to confirm this? Thanks in advance.

YES. I HAVE WON SEVERAL TIMES IN A SLOT TOURNAMENT AND HAVE RECEIVED THAT 1099 FORM IN JANUARY TO REPORT THE MONEY TO THE IRS.
WINNING MONEY IS ALWAYS NICE BUT DON`T GET INTO TAX TROUBLE . SOME PEOPLE CLAIM IT AS GAMBLING WIN/ LOSS AT THE END OF THE YEAR. LEGALLY YOU CAN`T DO IT BECAUSE IT IS A PRIZE.
