It's time for a party, Mr Taylor

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The Nevada Gaming Control Board says its investigation tracked down an Arizona man who left Las Vegas after a visit last month without knowing he'd won a $229,368 slot machine jackpot. 

The board said the machine being played by Robert Taylor malfunctioned due to a "communication error" and neither he nor the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino realized that he'd won a progressive jackpot the evening of Jan. 8.

I'm actually kinda surprised the casino went through all that trouble to track him down.

    All right! That was a feel good story of the day and by a casino no less.

    I would venture a guess that the I.R.S. agent assigned to T.I forced the issue so that the fed. could get there cut.

    The casino didn't....the Gaming Control Board did. They are very anal about their jobs.
    Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes not so good.

    It says the Nevada Gaming Control Board tracked him down. Shouldn't have been too hard. Most slots use a casino club card instead of coins. Makes it easier for the IRS to know how much you win and eliminates the change girls.

    Good PR. No nationwide ad campaign to push Vegas could have been done for a quarter mil.

    "Even if you didn't know you won, we will track you down to give you your winnings. Come back soon."

    Winners in Vegas are very good for business. A quarter of a million dollars is nothing, compared to the number of people who will be encouraged to travel there to gamble, due to this person who won that large sum of money. Cheap advertising, and it works. Of course, the powers that be are involved, as well, but you can be certain that the casino was more than glad to spend that tiny pittance on the winner, compared to the huge budgets of advertising that they spend every year on television, printed ads, and internet and other digital and radio ads. No doubt that quarter of a million is dwarfed by the ad budget.

      That's because he works for one of the Alphabet Agencies. They don't need to "find" him. He was doing his job. Probably got a promotion and a bonus.
