Where are the casino promotions. Except for Station’s usual weekend game, do not see much happening at Boyd, Southpoint….this month

UPDATE to Caesars check cashing policy.
When at Ballys last summer we were told it was no longer a free service. Very disappointed. (will resort to Casino Royale ATM…)
BUT we are STILL able to use the check cashing service for free at their casinos in Council Bluffs–used it a few weeks ago.
So as said, be sure to ask, but don’t assume.

1) probably a good lesson for others not to disclose their gambling results (winnings or losses) in a public forum that is accessible to the IRS. Looks like that realization came here a bit after the fact.
2) one trait every serious gambler I know shares is that they keep very detailed records of wins and losses
