Lets see...South Point has .3% cash back, monthly bounceback mailers for cash & food and double point days...and some good VP games. If the Randy Black properties (Casablance, Oasis & Virgin River) change their games and increase their cashback and free play levels...I may start going up there again!

Casablanca may still have that $1 FPDW Progressive in the storage room.
Those were the days!

No, this is not a political anything but what a lot of people are failing to see is the way the government plans to pay for the health bill is by taxing the big gap in taxes of "unearned income". If I read this correctly, and I am not an accountant, the moneies received from gambling, including a value for the "comps", and other activities will now be taxed making it very difficult to have anywhere near a "profit" for playing. This tax will be similiar to the taxes being imposed by some muncipalities on sodas and other "luxuries".
Anyone have anymore insight than I do ?
Thanks

You betcha we have more insight...not that any is required.
To help pay for the Plan, high income families and individuals will see a modest additional tax on investment income. Your suggestion that this is similar to a tax on soft drinks is not supported by any facts. The bill makes no mention of comps or video poker. Here is what it does say:
Medicare Payroll tax on investment income -- Starting in 2012, the Medicare Payroll Tax will be expanded to include unearned income. That will be a 3.8 percent tax on investment income for families making more than $250,000 per year ($200,000 for individuals).

I am far more concerned with the individual states taking a share of gambling winnings while disregarding losses. If the trend continues, even close to 100% games that generate W2-Gs will never be anywhere near playable again. The upside? It could revive play in "no state income tax" places like Nevada for residents.

have little, if any, influence over your state's revenue policies.*

Unfunded mandates? I have seen no unfunded mandates in reporting on the
legislation.

I hate to get involved in this conversation but... When the Federal Govt.
makes unfunded mandates that the states must provide then the states must
raise the funds to pay for these mandates. States must find a way
(taxes/fees) to pay for the mandates. The money doesn't fall from the sky
but from our pockets.

My idea of a so-called "good game" is NOT 8-5 Bonus.
Oasis is long, long gone, as is the 50-play NSUD and FP DDB progressive at Casablanca, the full pay VBJ at Oasis, and the Jacks and NSUD at VR (they still offer 10-6 DDB and I think 10-7 DB for quarters. Just the hotel is open, and only to handle overflow from VR and Casablanca.
Cashback which used to be .4 is now .33, etc, etc etc.
