I've always requested and received a check for good-sized blackjack
tournament wins, with no complaints or problems from the host casino. Last year,
after a really nice hit at an Oklahoma casino, everyone at the final table
was required to immediately spend two days filming this rather dumb
reality TV episode and I wasn't about to deal with carrying around that much cash
during that time.
Only the other hand, a few short years ago I hit a quarter progressive VP
for a bit under $3K at MGM in Detroit. Since this was Detroit, after all,
I didn't want to be such a tempting target so a check was requested - and
flatly denied.
