Here is an interesting site for folks that win a little money. You can win it, but watch out when you try to cash out.

I was in Macau last weekend, and I must comment on the differences there and in USA. They are much more free wheeling and don't ask for passports, ID, SS# or anything when you are cashing out $15,000US in Hong Kong Dollars (around 100,000 Hong Kong). I would not be surprised if they start courting the players in the USA who just have had enough of the intrusion that seems to be creeping into the games in USA. There is a reason why Macau has surpassed Vegas for gambling dollars, the casinos there are supreme, with no fancy frilly shopping and things to clutter up the time of the gamblers. The names on the casinos are what we already know, Wynn's, Sands, etc. but it is much more of a wild west type feel to it.

This is going to make me alot more careful when gambling in US casinos, I don't want IRS coming back years later saying I owe for winning several years previously. I guess that we Americans keep tweeking an idea until it is killed and the fun drained from it. I feel that it will be interesting in 10 years to see where this has gotten to.
