Petitioners received win-loss statements from the Grand
Casino Biloxi and the Grand Casino Tunica. A win-loss statement
is generated from a Players’ Club card, which is a magnetically
encoded card that patrons of a casino may use when playing slot
machines. The Players’ Club card enables the casino to track a
patron’s gambling activities by date and time, slot machine
winnings and losses, and may provide free “comped” room, drink,
and food for “high rollers”, or points that may be exchanged by
the patron for food, drink, or merchandise. However, for at
least two of petitioners’ gambling trips, on March 2 and April 6
and 7, 2002, there are no win-loss statements for their Players’
Club cards. In exchange for their patronage as established by
using Players’ Club cards, petitioners received free food in
casinos, free rooms at the casino hotels, and free room service
(except for gratuities).
The Grand Casino Biloxi win-loss statement for Mr. Hardwick

$953 for 2002. The Grand Casino Biloxi win-loss statement for
