On the Subject of casinos...

Let's hit a another losing point for the player, in particular..The Slot player...

In days past, you  bought rolls of coins,(or for $1 and up, tokens). You dropped them in the slot, pulled the handle, pushed the button and the machine either gave you something or it didn't. When you hit a pay line the coins would drop out of the machine and make a loud clanging noise against the metal trough. As you played you held the coins in a cup or cups as you moved from machine to machine. You really didn't know how much you had until you went to the cashier and they ran it through the coin machine. 

Now they have printouts, no coins, you get a register receipt. Here's the scam, You should not have to pay taxes until you win a certain amount, problem is, when you go to the cashier they try to slam you if your slip is over the taxable amount. the other problem is value, when you held a bucket of coins you knew you had something and could maintain your play better. So if you take your receipt from one machine to another it is very easy to go through the entire value without realizing it. Instead of putting in a hundred or twenty dollar bill you are feeding the entire amount in every time you play.
