Thanks for your reply. In reality, many good, upstanding, taxpaying US citizens do not carry their SS card with them....proof of this comes from doing tax returns for US citizens for over 25 years....while some do habitually carry them, most do not. We discovered the reason the Indian Casino requires them in South Florida is because there is an over abundance of alien farm workers that do not have SS cards, but love to play the Power Ball Lotto slots. The casino must have decided it was better to require all to present a SS card instead of just some. Chuck's military ID (retired) always suffices in all other instances when he needs to validate his SS#. You are right about not arguing about getting a W2G... after playing in Casinos for the past two years (yes, we are newbies) we have been been more than happy to receive many W2Gs.....this means we are doing something right. I would be remiss not to thank Bob Dancer for this since we have trained with his software and
materials.
{ Chuck started playing VP in June of 2004 upon a visit to Harrah's in Cherokee, NC. I had been encouraging him to play, but because of his innocent ignorance, he kept telling me VP was for entertainment only and the real money was getting lucky on a Mega Jackpot Slot. He had never spent any time in casinos while serving in the military, but did change planes in the Vegas airport while in the Marines in 1976 where he saw his first slots. I gave him a quick basic course on JoB which included always holding the face cards in most cases and all pairs.....we played quarters for about 6 hours. It was 2am and I left to get a donut....when I came back, Chuck was gone. When I found him, he was standing in the high limit area pointing at a machine to make me believe he had hit a big Jackpot....turns out, he had placed $50 in a $5 machine (God help us) and he dealt twice. The first hand lost and the second...well he told me he was so tired all he could remember was that I had
said something about holding the face cards....he did not notice the three face cards were all Hearts. He held them and re-dealt....his first reaction to the resulting hand was the machine had broken because the light on top was flashing. He was genuinely upset because he thought he was going to lose his last $25. Imagine his surprise (and certainly mine later) when he discovered he had just hit a Royal for $20K. Needless to say he became a huge believer in VP. To protect us in the future from his over zealous desire to play big and thus lose bigger, I quickly enlightened him with Bob's Win Poker and made him read all the VP books we could find...especially the ones that define bankrolls and how to use them. 2 years later...we are doing fairly well.....mainly though because I have quit going for donuts!! }
We are still looking for that one W2G that we will frame & hang on the wall when we hit the Royal on the $100 machine!!
BTW, that donut at Harrah's was the best one I've ever had!

Only thing I can figure is that such a person probably does
not report winnings (or loses) on their indiviual tax filings each
year.
