Starting 01Jan 2026 $1200 taxable increased to $2000

Basically, all your slot/video poker winnings that were over 1200 will not be taxed unless if it's over 2000

Yes, that’s generally correct. Most slot or video poker winnings over $1,200 are reported (for example, with a W-2G form), but taxes are not automatically withheld in many cases.

Mandatory withholding usually starts when the win is over $2,000 or if the player does not provide a tax identification number.
