love the idea of someone sitting there with a huge bucket of hundreds just feeding the machine

disgusting

lol at the button for pot over 1200.

its called a scam.

Probably a daft question, but is it actually a heads up machine or is it just another slot machine done up to look like a HU LHE machine? Does anyone know?

looks like a slot, if u were cruising through the casino u would walk right past it

ist actually a heads up machne done to looke like a HU LHE machine that looks like a slot machine

lol

So the people looking for the single full-pay deuces machine in the corner will walk on by, thinking it's just another -EV game, but the drunken tourist will play it thinking it is a video poker game, only to be fleeced by the fiendish AI...?

That's diabolically clever.

Haven't played it anywhere near this high, but from my Video Poker experience any payout of $1200+ triggers a hand pay and a W2G - probably means the machine resets, and the bot always gets the button on the first hand.

i just noticed this thread a couple days ago. it got bumped and it was made around the time 2010 taxes were due. seems to refute the need for a w2g here? what gives?

That subsection applies to poker and table games - the full section is:


Reportable Gambling Winnings

Report gambling winnings on Form W-2G if:

The winnings (not reduced by the wager) are $1,200 or more from a bingo game or slot machine,

The winnings (reduced by the wager) are $1,500 or more from a keno game,

The winnings (reduced by the wager or buy-in) are more than $5,000 from a poker tournament,

The winnings (except winnings from bingo, slot machines, keno, and poker tournaments) reduced, at the option of the payer, by the wager are:
$600 or more, and
At least 300 times the amount of the wager, or

The winnings are subject to federal income tax withholding (either regular gambling withholding or backup withholding).

Video Poker counts as a "bingo game or slot machine", so I'm assuming that Heads Up Hold Em does as well.
