In the US you have to pay taxes on winnings of $2000 or higher. (Until 2026 it was $1200).
So if you have a single win of $2000 or more on a slot machine they will give you the option of withholding taxes before they pay you - or paying them when you file your taxes. They issue a tax form either way so you can't get out of it.
I always have them take the taxes out on the spot, so it is sorted out before I file our taxes.
