    Gambling

    [edit]
    If you win...

    Chances are that, if you win it big in Tonopah and you are not a U.S. citizen your winnings will be subject to a 30% withholding tax from the Internal Revenue Service. That $10,000 slot winning can dwindle quite quickly if that is taken off the top. Not to worry though: you can reclaim your gambling winnings tax through a 1042-S form. You should get this from the casino so don't lose it — it is your starting ticket to getting your gambling winnings back.

    There are a few casinos dotted around the town.

    • 1 Mizpah Club Casino, 112 N Main Street, +1 775-482-3842. 24 hours. Blackjack, video poker, Texas Hold 'Em poker, and slots. The Lucky 7 slot machine has a jackpot prize of a chopper motorcycle.
    • Tonopah Station, 1137 Erie St, +1 775-482-9777. Blackjack and slots.
    • 2 Banc Club Casino, 360 N Main St, +1 775 482-5409.
