Too many royals/handpays/W-2Gs?

#1

I’ve heard on here that hitting too many royals in a short time will get you no-mailed. So I had some questions about this. I have been mostly playing 25c but have started mixing in 50c as my bankroll grows and when promos are really good.

If I hit many royals in a very short time that don’t require a hand-pay, nobody will care right? Like a while back I hit two within 10 minutes on a 25c machine and each just gave me 1k, no handpay or W-2G. I would think this would not set any alarms off.

If I hit a 50c royal for 2k requiring a hand-pay and a W-2G at some place like Silverton, South Point, or one of the Stations properties, when do you think it would be OK to play 50c again?

What about places that have smaller progressives/handpays that don’t require a W-2G. So if you hit 4 aces for $403.85 or if you hit a royal on a 5c 20-coin machine which would be $800 (which they also set to hand-pay). Here I’m talking about places like Longhorn, Joker’s Wild, or Club Fortune. Do you think these places even care about things like that?

I don't think it matters whether the jackpots involve w-2gs. I think
they look at overall net result. At some places that no-mail many
people, I've been treated like a king in spite of hitting many taxable
jackpots because my net result is poor.

There’s only limited anecdotal evidence that you can be “no mailed” for hitting too many RF’s. It tends not to be a factor at the majority of properties.

I would only be concerned if you’re playing a property where people have specifically noted a problem (e.g. Atlantis in Reno). And, if you’re a $.25 player and not generating w-2g paperwork, it’s almost a certainty you’re not at risk.
