How Casinos Find People Using Money or Casino Chips Found on the Casino Floor. If you pay attention, you might find people in the casino looking down at the carpet as they walk around. These people are usually looking for money and casino chips that have been dropped on the ground. Casino security will usually keep close tabs on these people and will grab them at the first chance. Keep these ideas in mind if you ever find money or casino chips on the floor of a casino. If you found a $500 chip on the floor at a casino, would you keep it or turn it in to the casino? Since chips don’t have names on them, turning it in isn’t going to result it in getting back to the unfortunate patron who dropped it. It’s going int. When are you legally allowed to keep money you find on the floor? Ashitha Nagesh Tuesday 28 Feb 2017 4:05 pm. Because Nicole found the money in a shop rather than on the street, he said, there.
- Two readers wrote in yesterday with concerns about handling cash they found. First, James: I was at the grocery store this morning and I found a $20 bill on the floor. I picked it up and pocketed it and went home. My wife told me later on that I basically stole the money and I should have told the.
- Found Money occurs in my casino on a daily basis. Chips, cash and slots credits. Dropped cash. If we could not identify the person who lost it, the money would go to the cash desk and placed in an account. The employee union and the management then make decisions about which charity or good cause to make a donation to.

So I was at a bar in a casino and a guy was talking about him almost losing $500 because he was a dumbass.he said thought he cashed out of his machine. but when he went to the cashiers cage, he couldn't find his slot ticket.
he went back to the machine and saw a lady there playing. the amount on the machine was $5xx.
he asked her if there was $ in the machine when she sat down. she said no.
He went to security.
Cameras showed that after he left, she sat down. and it also showed that there was still $5xx in the machine when he left.
he said security went to talk to her. she refused to give back the $.
they asked him if he wanted to press charges. he said as long as he gets his $ back, she's free to go.
and he got his $ back.
Yeah, this makes sense. Security can prove the $ belongs to someone else.
it's not yours and not giving it back when asked is stealing.
if I found $ in a machine and security told me the $ belongs to XYZ and the cameras can prove it, I would have no problem giving it up.
On the other hand, I would probably just cash out instead of playing it and take the ticket to a self-service kiosk to cash it. then leave.

Doing this will probably force the casino/police to follow the path of an arrest warrant for you(the person in the photo). I wouldn't plan on visiting a casino in that city for awhile.

I thought of another thing you could do in this kind of situation.
Lots of people talk about crummy casino personnel they run across. Cash it out and go give it to your least favorite tip hustler, or whatever person you had a problem with.
Have a good laugh when it is re-claimed by security later.

It gives the thief some plausible deniability if caught. 'What? I put money in spun some times and cashed out. I thought I won, isn't that how slot machines work? Sorry, didn't realize, here's the money.'
Doubtful they will be arrested if they go this route. If they just cash out the ticket then it's a lot harder to deny that it isn't straight up theft.

First and foremost, never trust those stupid 'reserved' signs. They're completely pointless.
If players aren't able to remember to cash out after being done at the machine, they'll be at the mercy of hoping that the Slots / Security / Surveillance teams are competent, and that the CCTV system is able to get the right angles.

They still owe player A $100. If they refuse to pay it, they're banned until the have a change of heart. I've seen one specific instance where the casino took the stance to reimburse the player directly, and have the accused owe the casino instead.

I love this scenario. I've seen this happen. Whomever spun the reel, gets the jackpot. Player A would get their original volume of credits back, but they have no claim to the jackpot.

No it doesn't. Even after paying back the money, depending on circumstance, we may ban the player anyway if it's decided that they're predatory in nature.

Ok, if you think police are as likely to arrest someone who cashes out immediately vs someone who puts their own money on top, plays, then cashes out, then that's fine.

Ethical, perhaps, but I think the law is clear. Found money in a casino belongs to the casino absent proof of ownership to the contrary. If the casino were smart, they'd use tape to determine whose cash it was, but in any event it's not yours. You can get in some trouble if you find chips, tickets or currency in a casino and don't turn it over to the cage.Found Cash On Casino Floor

I mistakenly left $50 at the Cage a few weeks back after cashing some chips. I had no idea that I left the money there. I came back to cash some more chips an hour later and the cashier said 'You are lucky that I am honest, I wasn't sure if you left this as a tip' I said 'Thanks, it was not a tip', I had barely broken even throughout the session. I took my $50 back and gave her a $5 tip.

A few years ago at the racetrack, my dad and I found about $50 credit on a wagering terminal. It was crowded that day, but my dad said that he saw a guy with a hat leave the machine, and we needed to return the money to him.
I told him that there were 10,000 people at the track, and we would never find this guy. So all day, we are wandering around the track and my dad keeps looking. Finally after race 10, my dad says 'That's him, I found him' He runs up to him and says 'Excuse me, did you leave about $50 in a machine in the beginning of the day?' The guy says 'yeah, but I just hit the trifecta for $600, so you keep it' After a polite refusal, the guy insisted and my dad got the benefit of doing the right thing, and keeping the money.
I think that's where I draw my ethical line. If I can find the guy whose money it is, I'll give it back to him, but if I find a little bit of money on the ground, I'm taking it. When I worked at Toys R Us, people would come to ther service desk and say 'Oh, I found this five dollar bill on the ground, here' And no one ever ever ever came back to say 'I lost a $5 bill, did someone turn it in?' And what would happen to all that money, we sent it to corporate a few times a year.
A casino is a different environment because everything is videotaped so it's possible to track down people. But any other place, as long as we're not talking hundreds of dollars, just keep the money.

Couple years ago, I found a $100 Bellagio chip on the floor of Planet Hollywood. No way PH could claim it was theirs. As with many casinos, PH's carpeting is patterned and disguises trash or chips left behind. In fact, I walked right over it without really seeing it till I was a few steps away then it occurred to me and I looked back. Problem was, it was 8 inches from a guy's foot playing that slot machine. I shuffled back over and kicked it a few feet away so I could pick it up without slot-guy noticing, and I hightailed it outta there before John Quinones and his What Would You Do? camera crew could swoop in for a Q & A session.
And I sleep just fine at night, thankyouverymuch.
I got in the habit of always checking the floor under the poker table when I first sit down. There's enough forgotten chips amid the empty water bottles to make it worthwhile.

Finding Money On Casino Floor
I had a few one dollar bills in my pocket, as I use these to tip the cocktail servers. One of them had fallen on the ground at my table apparently. A security officer came by and picked it up and started filling out a report, then told the dealer to put the dollar in the drop box. I told the officer that it was my dollar, I was the only player at the table. He didn't believe me, and though the floor supervisor told him that he also was sure it was mine, the security officer said he had to follow procedure, and if I wanted to I could fill out a report and they would do an investigation. I was playing 25 dollar PGP, and so I was a little offended that the guy didn't believe it was my dollar. I wasn't going to do anything over one dollar, but my drink server got 1 less dollar than she would have because of a stupid policy.

In a previous post I recounted that I had found a payment ticket from a slot machine on the floor at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
I thought briefly about what to do but decided to call security and handed it to them.
Finding and cashing a ticket would be further step towards illegality in my view. Money is one thing, but presenting a ticket to the cashier for redemption in the knowledge that it did not belong to me, would certainly be illegal.

Someone left $50 on a VP machine at work (this is when I used to stay after for drinks with co-workers). I had the bartender call the slot person to cash it out and put it back into the casinos bank.

What if you see someone drop a chip? They don't notice that they dropped it. Do you take the chip or give it back to them?
What if it was a black $100 chip. Would that make any difference?
