I'm curious if anyone here has ever experienced negative consequences
from being "caught" playing on your wife's or husband's card. I have
had a number of occasions where a host will come up to me and
say "excuse me, are you <insert wife's name here>?" I usually laugh
and tell them that "oh, that's my wife", and add something like "she
was playing here a while ago, but went back to the room", or whatever
sounds appropriate for the situation. This doesn't seem to bother
them, and they typically smile and say "please tell your wife I stopped
by".

I would guess that spouses playing on each other's cards is very
common. Heck, it's easy enough to honestly stick the wrong card in the
machine by accident if you carry both cards in your wallet and don't
pay close attention. So far, it hasn't seemed to bother any of the
casino personnel that I've run into.

Doesn't the state of Missouri still have those goofy loss limit rules on the
books? I think you need your own card for admission to casinos.

Didn't most casinos start breaking up the joint accounts a couple years ago? <BR><BR><BR>

Yes, you need your own card for admission. But you you can insert
someone else's card when you play.

Most casinos these days do not even offer joint accounts. Most want each player to have their own account number, although some casinos will "link" accounts of spouses. It is usually better to not let a casino link your accounts, but sometimes this happens without your knowledge.
