Poker tournaments, keno, horse racing and sports betting are the only areas you will get a receipt. Craps, cash poker, BJ ect you don't get a receipt. I don't see what all the fuss is about for not getting a receipt for the staff appreciation. If you win a SnG and give the dealer 10 or 20 bucks she doesn't write you a receipt (after all you are a prof poker player that keeps track of expenses)
Not knowing where the money is going. WHO CARES? Unless you are a dealer or staff member why care?
YOU REALLY DON'T GET IT.
the recreation player DOES NOT open up the WSOP site, and look up the structure first. you can sit here arguing that they do but you're wrong, 90% of people show up and have literally no idea what the structure is or a vague understanding of it. and if you really think fish read all the fine print at the bottom you're 100% wrong. it's totally asinine to expect people to always read the fine print in this situation, because it's just not gonna happen.
this is on top of the fact that it's NOT UNIFORM with other circuit stops, and there is NO paper trail at all. jimmy could very easily be pocketing all this money because we as players have no idea where the money went, even the dealers and other staff members have no idea (unless they were direct beneficiaries, as someone else alluded to only 3 of the 27 floorpeople getting paid out).
i love that there's always one moronic guy in these threads who doesn't take 2 seconds to think about the implications that literally every other reply have taken into account. do you REALLY just blindly trust these *******s to not steal from us and the dealers?
