"Oh no!" I can relate. I've gone over the taxable amount by just a couple of dollars so many times.

Finally a hand. Congrats. 🍀🍀They really need to raise the amount for a taxable. That game seems like a money sucker. I would rather play 10 play regular quarters ( still betting 50)than betting double on this game. I really enjoy your casino action better than the computer editions.

Good hit! I have to say I'm more entertained by the banter than by the cards, but both are fun!

Congratulations 🎈 you two finally it came through!!

Congrats and thanks for showing us these unusual and interesting games. To me it's kind of like a hybrid of video poker and slots because of the extra hands and multiplier in the "bonus". Funny how your first reaction to winning so big is "Oh No!" because of having to deal with W2s. Ridiculous, that the limit is still $1200. Your profit after this hand was still under $900 because you had played roughly 3/4ths of your initial $500 stake. Great video! Love them, and the website but miss the book.

Way better than slots because the frequency (on average) of the multiplier is set as is the multiplier (average) amount. That way the payback percentage can be calculated and it's still much higher than any slot machine. What it does as they said is dramatically increase volatility. If you get lucky and hit the max multiplier on a good dealt hand you can get massive wins (compared to your bet amount). That's the draw. My game of vice is is Double Super Times Pay. Dealt Royal with multiplier is the Holy Grail (20x guaranteed).

Great Win! 💙💙😎😎

Wish they would hurry up with that legislation to increase the reporting threshold from $1,200 to $5,000

Sorry for asking, do you know how much taxes do they have to pay for that amount 1200$ or when do they have to pay it?

@TheJackpotGents

Thanks! We got excited as that was our first win of over $1,200 while filming. However, as I later pointed out to Matt: "all wins are taxable, no matter the amount." Therefore, for clarification, we will refer to wins over $1,200 as "hand pays" in the future. Any gambling wins should be declared on your taxes as "other income" but you can record the outcome for your whole session for the day to deduct any losses. So, obviously, we often have other losing sessions on the same day and if we won $1,200 on this session and lost $800 in another session, then the win for the day is only $400.

We have a video where we interview Russell Fox, one of the nation's leading experts on gambling and taxes. Fox is the co-author of "Tax Help For Gamblers", along with Jean Scott and Marissa Chen. Look for it on Amazon. We discuss how all U.S. gamblers, including: slot machine players, table game players, sports bettors, and online casino players, are treated differently for the issuance of W2-G forms. Fox explains how gambling wins are treated by the IRS, how gambling losses can be deducted, and what kind of information is needed to provide proof of losses.

When playing double double bonus I notice people don't hold 2 to the royal if one of them is the 10 and they hold 2 pair when one is Jack's or better, I only hold the bigger pair for a chance at quads and I always hold 2 to the royal if there's nothing better

Back to the Future reference. I heard that before in 1985. Biff talking to George McFly.

I’m surprised you got even that single 4th queen, Hardrock Hollywood FL has got to have the worst odds of any casino I have ever played, terrible that you had that few multipliers ! And they don’t even give you your bonus points the same day of play, unheard of!

I predict you will be doing even better. I can feel it and I know it!

Good hit on that game. Just enough to tax it, unbelievable.

When dealt two pair in double double, and one of the pairs is JJ+, can you explain the logic in keeping the two pair as opposed to just keeping the one large pair when they are both paid equally but you are limiting yourself to a FH as opposed to drawing to quads?

@madmike19822009

2 жыл бұрын

I like to mix it up when I play, but if you took 100k hands and did the two pair vs pair. The two pair would net you more money. Even more so in this game if they didnt get that fullhouse multiplier before the jackpot, there would be no jackpot.

@logicalmisery3737

Жыл бұрын

Think of it like this- do you think you'll more likely hit 6 full houses (each paying 9) or 1 quad (pays 50) over time? I never cared for the quad argument, I think shooting for trips would be the more compelling reason in terms of frequent 'at least I won something' goal

Wish that I would win a little jackpot it would love

Actually, you do keep two pair, unless one of the pair is aces. Then , you would just keep the aces. If you are not doing that, then you are playing incorrectly.

Never ever hold 2 pair, such an armature move. You have better odds at making more by gambling on just holding the higher top pair or if it's a 2 card pair. Ugh

@TheJackpotGents

The decisions we made were mathematically correct and they can be proven to be correct by analyzing the hands with video poker software, which we use at home. You always hold two pair in double double bonus, unless one of them in aces. In that case, you would just keep the aces.

Awww that's the ironic terribleness of it, if you had won just a little bit less you could've have avoided the whole tax man encounter. Oh well, congrats anyway.

Thank you for not playing jacks or better
