Message: [QUOTE="Tygran, post: 1597714, member: 25662"] ^^ not true I was in vegas a few weeks ago and a UK citizen sat down at the table. This casino (mandalay bay if you are curious) had a high hand jackpot. If you are dealt quads or better on the flop, you win I think it was $800 (might have been $1k..don't remember). Anyway. this lucky bastard sits down and hits quad sixes on his first hand at the table on the flop. They took taxes out of his money before they gave it to him because he was a foreign national. I do not know if it is different for different countries or not...also not sure exactly how much they took out. however you are 100% correct that tax laws and attitudes in the US could not possibly be more idiotic. (although I'm sure I will be proven wrong on this eventually) [/QUOTE]
