It pays to be nice to people!

A friend told me how to save money without tipping thru

the Self-Pay Jackpot™ Program.


Per Ai:
"To sign up for the automated payout system at Hard Rock Casino—officially called the Self-Pay Jackpot™ Program—you must enroll in person at the casino property. This program allows tax-reportable slot machine winnings (such as your $2,001 jackpot) to be transferred directly back into the machine using a PIN, bypassing the wait time for a slot attendant to process a manual hand-pay.Requirements for EnrollmentTo successfully register for the program, you must meet the following criteria:Be a U.S. citizen or resident.Have an active loyalty card, such as the Unity by Hard Rock card or property-specific Wild Card.Provide two forms of government-issued photo ID (at least one must include your physical photograph).Step-by-Step Registration ProcessVisit an Enrollment LocationWalk up to any of the designated enrollment areas on the casino floor:The Casino Credit OfficeThe Casino Cashier CageThe Unity Player's Club / Rewards deskDirectly with a Slot Customer Service Representative or Casino Host on the floor.Complete the PaperworkRequest a Self-Pay Jackpot Application/Agreement from the staff member. Fill out your personal details and provide your signature.Provide Your Tax SignatureThe casino will securely store your electronic signature. This allows the automated system to instantly generate and file the required IRS Form W-2G on your behalf whenever you hit a jackpot over the $1,200 federal reporting threshold.How it Works When You WinOnce enrolled, hitting a $2,001 jackpot will prompt the slot machine screen to lock and ask for your secure PIN. Entering your PIN automatically logs the tax paperwork and loads the winnings directly onto the machine's balance. From there, you can choose to continue playing or print a standard ticket to cash out at a kiosk or the main cage

Do you realize that has been around for 5 to 10 years? I also don't understand how it saves you money. If you don't want to tip, don't tip.
You can't know everything, but you can know anything.

Many casinos still don’t have that system. Also many people just feel the social pressure to tip. It’s a great system.
Happy days are here again
