W2G

#1

I saw a $100 9/6 JoB machine in the high limit room at Caesars
Palace. I asked personnel if the machines locks up for a hand pay
and W2 evey time someone gets 3 of a kind. You actually only make
$1,000 profit on that frequent hand! He said yes, they generate
a W2 and a hand pay, but they are very efficient at servicing the
client. I am curious if anyone has played at that level and how
difficult that is. Not that I am even thinking along those lines,
but I am curious.
  There are lower denomonation machines that my also cause frequent
W2s. Any full coin hand over 50 coins would be a W2 on a $25
machine. This maybe a silly question, but under the assumption
someone is not hiding from the IRS, does anyone make a conscious
decision to go down in denominations to avoid W2's. I thought in
a positive situation advantage players would try to play as fast
as possible without making any (or very few) mistakes and at the
highest denomination that their bankroll could support.
  Does the stoppage for hand pays and W2s enter into the decision
to play a smaller denomination machine? Or, is there sufficient
financial incentive for a minimum of W2s to motivate one to play at
a smaller denimination? I am assumming you are in a nice positive
play and your bankroll is sufficient for any choice of denomination.

There are a couple different ways they do it, one is to "key to
credit", and keeping an aggregate log of W2-Gs, and presenting the
player with one big W2-G at the end of session. A house employee
stands behind the player and records each individual W2-G. A couple
places do it the old way, locking the machine up and making a hand
pay. At Foxwoods, this took 15-20 minutes, which did nothing but
irritate players playing during double points periods.

How about the $100 triple play machine.
A dealt high pair will be a handpay, even if it just refunds the $1500 wagered.
