Cash Jackpots
Great news for cash jackpots!
Cash jackpots being paid from a promotional pool that is funded by players is now considered a wagering pool by the IRS.
What does this mean for you?
When you hit a cash jackpot at the TI that is $600 or more you will receive a W2-G instead of a 1099-M as it is now considered gambling winnings. This means you have the ability to counter your jackpot wins with gambling losses!
When you receive 1099-M's it is treated as income and you are not able to deduct gambling losses.
So come on down to the TI and hit those Quads, Straight Flushes, and Royal Flushes and don't forget that from 4am to 11am in N/L games ($1/$3 and up) and Limit games ($4 & $8 and up) the Quads are worth $200 each and Straight Flushes are worth $500 each!!!

New Carpet
We have been open just under two years (April 12th will be our 2nd anniversary) but today, March 5th, they are installing new carpet!
The original carpet was getting torn up real quick around the seams and it showed stains real bad. Hopefully the new carpet will hold up a little better! It will be interesting to see how it looks in the room; it is so hard to pick carpet based upon a 2"x2" blotch.
UPDATE - The new carpet looks very nice! Everyone has said nothing but good things about it.
