Pechanga's new compliance $$

[Arlene]

Have all you ex-Pech people heard about the new compliance amounts? I guess it's diff. by shift and whether you're high limit or regular. High limit dealers are in the $55/hr. and regular dealers are in the $35/hr. range. What the FU*#! Just imagine the taxes, and what if you don't make that? Do you have to be on that compliance amount? I guess there's no threat of going back to pooling. Who knows more?...

I've heard the same about high limit, but haven't heard about main floor. I'll ask around a little.
You didn't have to be on compliance before either, but look how many people got audited for being off it. I still think it's the safest bet in a GFYO place.

high limit day shift $58.40, high limit swing $55.60, high limit grave $45.00, outside swing $35.00. not 100% sure if these are the exact numbers but within $1-2.

not sure about day shift or graveyard on the outside, but both are lower than the
$35/hr. you have the option of being on or off compliance, but all who do not accept the compliance will be red flagged to the IRS and most, if not all, will be audited.

Wow! Are people actually covering it? I heard it wasn't quite as good as it used to be.

most aren't in high limit, the play has dropped quite considerably since the opening a year ago, and so has the drop. hoping for a redo on the rate because we were told we will only redo the toke rate if the drop goes down, and it is down probably close to 40% since the opening if not more. if you don't make that much by the end of the year you can always amend your taxes if you keep accurate records. there is no reason why you should get taxed on money you didn't make. worst case scenario is getting taxed on 100% of your income with a rate this high.
