Was there playing Let it Ride, and this guy beside me hit one of the bonuses. He was playing 75 bucks on the bonus spot and 50 in his hands. Well he hit it big and won 47 thousand. After he won the pit boss cameover and they had to double check all the cards, and go upstairs and check the video, just to make sure everything was on the up and up.
After a good half hour they came back to the table and paid him out with big chips. This is where it gets funny, the pit boss asked him if he wanted a guarded escort to the cashiers booth. He said no, he was taking the chips home with him. A verbal arguement started, he was dead set on taking the chips home with him.
The guys reasoning was if he cashed in 47 thousand, he would have to show ID and the government would know he won it. If he took the chips home and came back every couple of days with a little bit here and there the government wouldnt know that he won anything. Im thinking he owed something to the government and he didnt want them to know.
The casino finally relented and let him leave with the chips.
