    We have some rights that's one reason there is a Nevada control gaming board. Maybe not for taking money in and out though. If something happens and we are back roomed or not paid for a slot win or whenever we can call the gaming board. Can we call and make a complaint to the gaming board if you have proof a casino isn't putting the right play in their computer, changing averages, time and or theo?

    Is this why my banker always asks what I'm doing with my money when I withdraw? It's poised as small talk... one of these days I'm going to say hookers and blow.

    That's most likely just human curiosity.

    When you have a loc or fm, they ask no questions and cash you out immediately after taking your card. Takes a bit of time when you request a wire or check.

    your forgetting the main reason to make sure you didnt steal the chips,

    easist way is to get them in 1000$ or under denomination if playing at good casino , if your playing at like a boyd or small one get them in 100's so u dont have a problem and cash out over time.

    most casinos want id or players card around 3k but goldcoast want one and to know were u played if cashing out a few 100$ chips.they call to verify

    This is gospel and can be a very serious matter that is not just limited to the IRS . Every year when PokerStars has their Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas there will be some young guys who go down there, win a bunch of money, and try to break it into pieces to carry back so they will be under the $10K customs declaration cap. Every year this results in horror stories...I have heard everything from fines equal to whatever the total of the money is to jail time in the Bahamian clink.

    One of the worst stories ever is actually documented in a podcast and involves 2 guys who wound up in a hellish sounding refugee camp for quite some time because they were (if i remember correctly) a couple hundred dollars over the limit. Their story makes for a very interesting listen that addresses alot more than just the financial part of the situation...If anyone would like to hear it I can try to post a link or shoot me a PM and I can send it that way.

    If the amount is $3,000 or over they are required to ID you so that they can keep track of transactions that may take you over $10k cash in a 24 hour period. Anything totaling $10k or more in a 24 hour period is subject to a CTR. CTRs are relatively harmless, as long as you pay your taxes. If you don't want a CTR to be filed, ask for a check or wire, but as someone else mentioned, do not intentionally cash chips in such a way that you will avoid CTRs being filed. It's called structuring - it's a federal felony offense, and they can and do prosecute for it.

    Neither of these has anything to do with the SAR (suspicious activity report), which is a far more serious thing and is only used if the casino suspects you of a crime, such as money laundering. SARs go directly to FinCEN (financial crimes enforcement network) and are usually acted upon. These are far more rare than CTRs.

    They can refuse to cash more than $3k at once if you refuse to show ID and you are not a known player (you don't have a players card, etc) because they are required by law to track such transactions. At most Strip properties you should be fine cashing in $2500 at a time without any hassles - you generally won't even be asked for ID or players card.

    Finally, as for arbitrarily refusing to cash chips, it can and does happen, but the casino has to not like you very much. There are many stories of Nevada casinos simply refusing to cash chips from people they don't like (advantage players etc) and in some cases they have even confiscated the chips and told the player that if they don't like it, they can call Gaming. The Gaming Control Board is not of as much help as you would think in these situations either.

    that eventually worked out for the players but took a long time (also at the MGM).
