Leaving Atlantic City

A $1000 royal should not have triggered a W2G.  I've been to a few small casinos around the country where they hand paid everything over $500, but I can't believe they would do that in AC.  Did you ask for a check?  Maybe they asked for your SS# because they were issuing you a check?

$1000 is not even a hand pay in AC,that's just a ticket you would cash out of the machine.

to faa,you better check your credit reports.you gave your ssn to some stranger and god only knows what they're doing with it.

I do trust the cage manager, the only employee with it. It should be okay. It does seem like the check request meant they needed a SSN. But next time I'm under $1200 on a win, I will just take the money and run.
