Is this really true? Social Security Card and Jackpots | Page 8 | Vegas Message Board
https://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/index.php?threads/is-this-really-true-social-security-card-and-jackpots.721/page-8

Hello,

Bring your soc. sec. card, keep it locked in the hotel room safe, then if you win a jackpot, you will have it, and will just need to show it to the casino where you won the jackpot, so they will release the funds.

My husband works in the casino as a surveillance agent and he has to film this all the time. If you don't have your soc sec card, they will hold the funds until you can produce it. At least, those are the rules at the casino where he works here in Nevada.

Hope this helps.

I never had to show a SS card to get paid. I think it expedites the process for slot dogs if you have it, but just giving the number along with ID is enough to start the process.

You are correct but that isn't supposed to be how it works. If you can't present the actual Social Security card you are supposed to fill out a W-9 which is basically an affidavit of SSN.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Love the slot dogs term. Btw at mystic lake in Minnesota they push a cart of hot dogs around the slots, and call them slot dogs.

The W9 form makes it unnecessary to carry your SS card with you. It's a signed affidavit.

Any casino that cashes you out in that situation is violating...wait for it...federal law.
