What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "SLOT Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary purpose is to increase the information reporting threshold for winnings from slot machine plays. Under this proposal, a return would not be required for winnings unless they reach at least $5,000 from a single play. This $5,000 amount would be subject to inflation adjustments starting after the year 2026. The changes are intended to apply to payments made after December 31, 2025.

-
Inflation Protection: Under Section 2(a)(2), the $5,000 threshold will be increased in calendar years beginning after 2026 based on cost-of-living adjustments. This ensures the threshold amount remains adjusted for inflation over time.
