Jackpot Journal Insider: Handpay Increase: Tax Reporting Could Jump from $1,200 to $5,800, What Casino Players Must Know!

A massive update may soon hit the casino industry: the long-standing handpay jackpot reporting threshold of $1,200 could rise to as much as $5,800. The proposed change comes from both the IRS Advisory Council and lawmakers supporting the SLOT Act, who argue the current number is outdated and unfair to players. Raising the threshold would mean fewer W-2G tax forms, less time with machines locked down, and more uninterrupted slot play on the Las Vegas Strip and beyond.

Support is building from members of Congress, including Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada and Rep. Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania, who are pushing the legislation forward. If adopted, the change could go into effect as early as late 2025 or 2026. For everyday slot players, this would reduce tax paperwork on mid-sized wins and create a smoother, more exciting experience on the gaming floor.

Not everyone in the casino industry is cheering for the higher handpay threshold. Some slot attendants point out that fewer handpays will mean fewer opportunities for tips, which could directly impact their income. There’s also concern that if the volume of handpays drops significantly, casinos may reduce staffing levels, creating fewer jobs on the gaming floor.

A’s Vegas Stadium Boom: $2 Billion, 33K Seats & Building Rapidly… Will It Open in 2028?

The Oakland A’s have officially broken ground on their long-awaited Las Vegas stadium, set to rise on the former Tropicana site at the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. The project is now estimated to cost around $2 billion and will feature a 33,000-seat ballpark designed with Strip views, cutting-edge amenities, and the closest seats to home plate in Major League Baseball. The A’s ownership has stated funding is secured, and the design team promises a venue unlike any other in the league, showcasing an outfield glass wall framing the Vegas skyline.

Still, there’s plenty of skepticism around the timeline and financing. Construction crews are working on foundation prep now, with vertical building expected later this fall. Despite rising costs and ongoing debates over long-term funding, the A’s are targeting an opening date in time for the 2028 MLB season. In the meantime, the team will play in West Sacramento through 2027, with a handful of games scheduled at Las Vegas Ballpark in 2026 to give fans an early taste of what’s to come.
