    Well go for it, $70,000 on their 86% payback slots would mean you should in theory lose $9800. sounds like a bargain to me, oh wait you could just buy 7 of them instead....

Too short of notice but again, I may give them a try over my beloved CET just because the casino is in the hotel. Screw having to take a shuttle. I like gambling while he wife gets ready, ya know?

    This is what I found on the web:

    "Withholding for Gambling Winnings

    Lottery and other gambling winnings in excess of $5,000 are subject to withholding at a rate of 8.75% for Maryland residents or 7.5% for nonresidents. Pari-mutuel (horse racing) winnings in excess of $5,000 and at least 300 times as large as the original wager are subject to the same withholding rates. "

    So, my question would be if the win is over $1200 and less than $5000 is there no withholding?

    That is a huge ton of gambling. I've done 6000+ a couple of times for gifts and even at $5/$10 a spin it gets tedious when you have to do it, plus a lot of luck to not lose your ass while getting the points.

    That's a ridiculous amount of gambling. I'm glad that I have a head start and am usually offered a larger TV and the upgrades are rather low.

    I'm offered a 9" TV or $75 FP for Saturday. It's one of the bigger offers I've gotten from them, I LOL at the TV, but not planning on going to New Jersey anytime soon! Hehe

    I got the offer for a 24"....but have to earn the same points to move up, the prize ladder is the same I just don't have the 900 and 1100 tier shown

    I liked these kind of offers when the CLE area casinos were CET when the prize that you can just show up to get was already pretty decent. They were local so if I went down Friday and nothing was paying I could say screw it, take my money and go home, then come back the next day and get my gift. I did a TV ladder offer once and stuff was paying and the jump to the next level TV wasn't that high so I played. Another time there was a home stuff ladder one where the only items I kinda needed were my guaranteed one (tabletop oven thing) and the top one (a Dyson). So I went down, played my FP and a couple bucks, stuff wasn't paying so I went home and just came back the next day to get the guaranteed gift.

    I really feel ambivalent about the idea of planning a trip where I not only have to travel I have to play to a certain level to get a decent prize once I get there. Because then it would doubly suck. First I'd be on a trip where the gambling is for shit. Second I'm on a trip that I came on to get a gift and now the gift is going to be shitty, whereas I could have come at a different time on a better FP offer, or just stayed home and went to the store to buy the item with the money I didn't take gambling.

    I did go to Vegas to get a TV but all I had to do was show up to get a 55" one.

    Yeah, I got the 55" last year, but should have held out and got a 55" 4K this year . . . .

    I already had a January trip planned for different dates - a friend of mine has an event to attend so we're making it into a girls trip - or otherwise I'm sure my DH would have been more than happy to have me go out and get him that one too. Fortunately I got an offer for FP (or a gift card but I think I'm taking the FP) during the timeframe that we need to be there anyway so that worked out.
