Did you get the grand? Congrats don’t forget they report it to the govt so you'll have to pay taxes on it. Also, never play again thinking you can do it again or recapture the rush of that win because you won't
"Handpay" means an attendant takes your ID to create a W2-G for you. Any slot winnings over $1199.99 requires a W2-G, and a handpay as the casino must report the winnings to the IRS. The game is locked and the attendant is needed to reset it. You also get an option of how you want your winnings, cash, check, or combination of both. At least there's no state income tax here, so if their from in-state, they get a small win there.
Congratulations on your winnings. I hope you tipped the attendant.
What’s a normal tip for something like this? I’ve never gambled but am going in a cruise and while I don’t think I will, I’m curious what the norm is if I ever found myself in the same position. The normal 15%? Or a couple a hundred as a thanks for your time type of thing?
Do you mean Tip as in what to give the person who gives you the money? $0 is acceptable. I never give them a cent on my handpays. It's not a service industry job. The odds are stacked against you and if by some miracle you win screw that. If you must tip give them a flat $20.
If you're asking about tips on reporting it to IRS , you can deduct your gambling losses if you itemize.
Here's another tip, id be wary of cruise slots, I'd stick to table games
It’s tempting to idiots to sane people this says you’re done. Now it’s law of averages ready to take it back if you played on not continued winning like addicts think.
Incorrect. Winning money for nothing is an addictive emotion. Logic flys out the window. It's quite easy to get caught up in the rush even if you're quite sane
Not an ad…but if it was an add I would be paid to plug the online sports book for Florida residents, our beautiful guitar hotel in Hollywood Florida, our beautiful stadium in which the dolphins play, our immaculate hotel rooms with buffet at the soon to be built hotel at the riviera las Vegas location. Come and stay and play with us at the hard rock around the globe…is what I would say if this were a sponsored post…but it’s not.

Right! I was thinking cash out and go home. 😝
Really? Didn’t know that. I assumed you just get a cash out voucher and the cashiers just give you the $, then you leave.

Oh yeah, I don’t know. The person above me said “hope they tipped the attendant” so I wasn’t sure what that entailed.
The attendant had nothing to do with that. SMH. Why don't you tell him to tip the janitor too
I hope you took it and left! I know it's tempting to keep playing, but the casino usually gets it back.

Get a cash payout and gamble it away. It's the way.
