Om man spelar slots använder man ju sig inte av marker utan får en ticket när man cashar ut från maskinen som man sen kan växla in till sedlar i en automat.
Alltså är det nog bäst att hålla sig till slots om man vill spela som underårig.
Kan det inte bero på summan? Det är ju skattemyndigheter som vill ha redivisning av inkomst. Om den överstiger $1200 så får du nog ingen ticket.

When you pocket $600 or more (and that amount is 300 times your bet) at a horse track, win $1,200 at a slot machine or bingo game, or take $1,500-plus in keno winnings, the payer must get your Social Security number and let the IRS know you came into the extra income.
And while poker aficionados argue the card game isn't gambling, but a game of skill, the IRS still wants details on how well you played Texas Hold 'Em. The IRS now requires all poker tournament sponsors to report competitors' winnings of more than $5,000.

All casino winnings are subject to federal taxes however the IRS only requires the casinos to report any wins over $1,200 on slot and video poker machines or other games such as keno, lottery or hose racing. When you have a win equal to or greater than $1200, you will be issued a W-2G form. This form lists your name, address and social security number. The casinos are not required to take out withholding tax on jackpots under $5,000 as long you supply your social security number. If you donÂ’t provide your social security number the casinos will withhold 28 percent on smaller jackpots.
The casino will require proper identification before you are paid your jackpot. U.S. casinos can refuse to pay you until you produce proper identification. Your identification must have your photo on it. You can use a driverÂ’s license, Military ID or passport. As a rule of thumb, if it were able to board an airline flight with the ID then it will be valid in the casino to claim your jackpot.
If you donÂ’t produce an ID you will be photographed and the casino will hold your winnings until you come back with proper ID. This is the reason you should always carry a valid form of identification with you when you visit the casino.
When the casinos check your identification they will also be checking your age to make sure you are legally old enough to be playing. The minimum age for gambling varies from State to State but under age gamblers will not be paid if they hit a jackpot. This is the law in all jurisdictions and it has been upheld in the courts.
Möjligt att det är "skattefritt" på indiankasinon, men tvivlar på det. Så om man vinner under $1200 kanske man får pengarna direkt, men är det mer så blir det nog ID-kontroll.
