Gambling is a tax-inefficient form of entertainment.

You might ask your tax return preparer whether your records are sufficient to apply the session netting rules.

My players card indicates all play in which I had w2 g's reported. Also I have win loss statement from Casino. Is this sufficient to apply the session netting rules?

Congratulations on your winnings!  But it is a true source of gross income, you need to itemize to get the losses reported.  But that isn't going to make your taxable Social Security go away.  The only way you are going to avoid the 85% is don't win or stay home.
