Speeding up hand pays

Post by joechgo »

If I'm playing high-denomination VP, I will probably get 5-10 hand pays per hour.Is there a way to get the documentation at the end?  I read some of Bob Dancer's articles that casinos will just make a list and issue one W-2g at the end.Anyone have any experience with this?

Yes. It is called a board. Upon your first handpay request that a board be set up, if you are at $10 or $25. If you are playing $100 at a pretty good clip you can even get a monitor with a board so each time you hit at the federal level or above (which is very often at $100) you don't lose but a minute or so. At the end of your session you have to wait about 20-30 minutes for the final tally to be produced in W2G's. I have noticed this is common in Vegas and Laughlin but I have been refused this service in certain other venues.

Thanks for the information. I will request one at the $5 level. Some four of a kinds get above $1,200.

I usually refer to it as a "long form" or "aggregate" or "log" and they understand what I'm talking about.Bob
