There are many things omitted from that article.
For one, CTR's are not filed for jackpots over $1,200 on machines.
I teach classes on CTR's and SAR's to casinos and might be able to answer any questions if there are any.

Of course not. $1200 is well below $10,001.
Quote: DeucekiesOf course not. $1200 is well below $10,001.
Even if you get a jackpot for $10,001+, I don't believe you'll get a CTR.
If I keep winning $15,000 per gambling day at the tables; should I take cash or a check?

You are correct. All slot jackpots are exempt. Yes, even million dollar ones.

Boy, table games get such a bum rap

Wow, I did not know this. That's some BS right there.

It is not BS. A W2G is still filled out and filed for the jackpot so the Treasury department is notified of the source of funds. It would just be extra paperwork to fill out a CTR also.
The whole point of the CTR is just to let the Treasury department know the source or destination of large cash transactions.

Right, forgot about the W-2G. I retract my comment, but is some interesting trivia.
