No tickey ... no laundry.

Is it typical to get receipts for casino winnings?

Yes, I think so. If you win over $1200. ... at which point it becomes “taxable” and is reported to the IRS.

Perhaps he should have refused to let the officer search his car...”May I go now officer?”

BC Bud payment? Lots of hydroponic weed grown in BC and brought into the Northwest.

I recognize that picture. Its that guy’s from Nigeria money that he promised to send me if I help him take it out of the country. Is he trying to get you to help too?

What he should have said:
“Where am I going ?”
“None of your business, give me the ticket or get a warrant”

Depends on the game one is playing. If playing table games you can win this amount without receipts or notice to IRS.
To: Daffynition
Merrill said if it is determined the man obtained the money legally it will be returned to him. What a lovely policy.

Yup!
Since when is speeding “probable cause” for searching the car?
Now, do I believe he won this money?
NO!

If it’s over 1200 IN A SINGLE EVENT...
I’ve won much more than that on slots, but by winning at four or five hundred bucks a roll... but if the slot machine pays out more than 1200 ON A SINGLE SPIN, then they got ya.
Same thing with the table games. I’ve won more than that at poker and never got hit up for it. But I was on a table once where somebody hit the jackpot (he had four of a kind - four tens - and lost to a guy who had four kings).
I had already folded out of the hand, but my table share was 1300+, so everybody had to fill out the forms.
