<<There is a rather expensive pamphlet dealing with such tax
issues: "THE TAX GUIDE FOR GAMBLERS" (4th ed.)
by Roger Roche and Yolanda Smulik Roche, which can be ordered from
the gamblers bookstore. /www.gamblersbook.com>>I used this as a reference book for a couple of years. However, it is
geared mainly for live poker players. You can tell they aren't familiar with the
details of machine play. Plus I think it hasn't been updated for a couple of
years.
Don't remember the edition I have but I do remember it had numerous, spelling
& grammatical errors. It may be a poor association but the quality of spell- &
and grammar-checking leads you to infer the same about the quality of the
contents.
Originally the authors were based in the San Jose area. Then they moved to
Las Vegas. I'm guessing that they spotted a niche market opportunity which has
expanded with the growth of gaming.
Also, in my edition, they were Enrolled Agents & may still be.
