If the prize is between $100,000 and $200,000, payments will amount to at least $10,000 annually. If the prize is more than $200,000, the annual payments will not be less than 5 percent of the total amount. However, leaving casino winnings in an annuity sacrifices some of the value of your money. Also, if you win $1000 twice in a row and had $2000 in credits, the machine just prints a ticket but in some cities, it may still be a hand pay but NOT taxable. It just depends on the state's rules for how machines have to pay out. But the $1200 taxable rule on slots.

I think I must first add a disclaimer to this post. I may be the worst source for this piece of information. To the point, I’ve never received a hand pay. I’m not an avid slot player and my VP results are less than stellar. I’m still chasing that Royal. I’m ready though. Mentally, I’ve prepared myself for the inevitable moment when I have to call an attendant to service my machine. That’s not a euphemism.
In our euphoria during the winning moment, we need not to forget the employee who pays us out. But how much is customary? U.S. restaurant etiquette indicates 15%- 20%. That’s upwards of $200 on a $1,200 payout, the current threshold. Compound that with the 28% government “fun fee” and there’s isn’t much left for you to enjoy. So, our typical habits are too much. From what I found perusing various message boards and groups, the average is about 2%. I was disappointed to find that quite a few don’t tip at all. Not that I want to tell you what to do with your money, but we need to be sure we’re taking care of the hard workers who make our good time possible. If you’re at a bartop VP machine, it’s probably good form to throw a few extra sheckles to tapster as well
Typical responses I found ranged between 1% and 5%. Some of our foreign friends are even more generous thanks to relaxed taxation policies back home. $20 per thousand sounds good to me, though. What about you?
