Most casinos now don't care if you take pics of slot machine jackpots or video poker wins. I think they recognize that people posting jackpots on social media is actually good for business.
But if you pull out a cell phone to take pictures near the gaming tables or cashier cage you will be swiftly reprimanded.
In the old days (good or bad), casinos did not allow gamblers to take photos on the gambling floor. I never knew exactly why. Perhaps to prevent accidently including a person who didn't want anyone to know he was there. I'm guessing.
Maybe 20 years ago, I got a royal flush at the Golden Nugget on Fremont Street. A staff member offered to take a picture. He expected a tip.
On our recent trips to the pool tournaments at the Las Vegas Westgate, I haven't seen that old policy advertised. I suppose with the advent of picture-taking cell phones, prevention is pointless.
