never found anything thing more than 1 dollar on the slot tickets, but with all you finding chips on floor, ill have to pay attention more often lol.

I found $114 left in a slot machine once... wasn't even looking, just sat down to take a phone call and there it was. I waited 10 minutes to see if someone came back, but nope...

A friend told me they had a friend that went on a heater at the Wynn, winning 30k playing black jack. Cashed out with a 25k and a 5k chip, the guy then went to Surrender to celebrate, got drunk, didnt lose the 5k chip but lost the 25k one. said they searched the place up and down but never found it.

i was on a family vacation one year...

needless to say the family went busto and after eating at some ****ty buffets we decided to take the last of our money and try to hit it big in keno....

didnt win keno, but sat and talked with a nice old man who just by chance hit it big during our conversation...he was so old and excited he unfortunately had a heart attack and died after realizing he had finally hit it big...as he was dying the keno ticket that was the big winner hit the floor...before the custodian vacuumed it up we decided it would be the right thing to pick it up and cash it in for ourselves...we thought its what the old man wouldve wanted...

so thats my story!

Haven't found anything, but I did lose 3 $100 bills while taking a leak at Ballys earlier this year :/.

I think I banged your daughter

Beat The Players recounts the story of Estella Romanski, a senior citizen who found 5¢ in a slot machine at Greektown Casino in Detroit. She attempted to insert the coin in a machine and was detained, strip-searched and trespassed. She sued and the jury awarded her $875,270.05 (reduced on appeal to about $600,000). The author of Beat The Players, Las Vegas attorney Bob Nersesian, opines in the book that found money in a casino is the property of the finder if the owner can't be found.

Casinos do believe they own anything that hits the floor, and there have been posts here from people who were grabbed by security and tossed for picking up items from the floor. I don't know what the Nevada statutes say, but the odds are good they are on the side of the casino. It kinda doesn't matter since the casino can trespass you for about any reason they please and it's unlikely they are calling the cops because you picked up $100.

They absolutely despise slot walkers and will trespass you for that. They do NOT want the street people prowling through the casino looking for unused machine credits or chips on the floor.

On the other hand, I once cashed out a small jackpot and as I was walking away a guy in a suit who had supervised the payout stopped me and pointed to a machine about 4 spots away. "There are some unused credits in that one--just hit cashout". "Cool. Thanks!" It was like $10, if I recall. Figure if the guy with a nametag wants me to take it so he doesn't have to do paperwork, I'll help him out.

I also once saw 50 cents on the poker room counter in front of a sign. It was hidden so the cashier couldn't see it. I pointed it out and got an exasperated *sigh* "JUST TAKE IT! We've had that sitting there for hours hoping someone will pick it up so we don't have to fill out the forms and so far nobody has grabbed it." ok... once again, if I'm asked to take it by an employee, I'm not gonna argue a lot.

I've found a few $5's. If it's beside a pit game, say, I'll give it to a dealer as a toke as I walk by. If it's in the middle of nowhere, I give it to someone in the poker room when I get there as a toke. Figure if they want to 86 me for that, I didn't want to give 'em my business, anyway.

This doesn't look very authoritative and contains no pointers to statutes. But it basically says the above: http://voices.yahoo.com/what-find-mo...n-6222116.html

Found $11 outside of Cosmopolitan a few trips ago.

When I was 15, my bank accidentally put $20 million in my account.

I know a slot tech that works at MB, everytime I see him on the floor he always has a bunch of TITO's in his shirt pocket. Him and the other techs use them to test machines. He said they usually get all the small ones from the change people and consolidate them. He told me the biggest one he has ever had was around $700 and then he turned it in to accounting and started over.

Found a folded up $1 bill on the casino floor at MB today. I gave it to the cocktail waitress when she came by.

Found a 5k chip at the Rio during the wsop near the High Stakes Baccarat table. I went to security and told them I found it and told them that if no one claims it by the end of the day I would come back for it and take care of them in the process... 10 hrs and +1700 in a 5-10 game later, I went back, gave security 1000 took my chip and left.

Haha cool! Who knew security would accept a tip like that? That's actually pretty unethical.

Did you have any issues cashing the chip?

lol'd

Found a $300 slot voucher on the floor. Cashed it in and got out as fast as possible

I've had several experiences with losing money (one TITO voucher for a few hundred bucks, a stolen sports ticket that was cashed, along with various bills), but never the other way around.

It's really not fun to be on the other end of the coin, but it figures that many of the posters on here without other means of income spend their days trying to claim lost money in town.

No issues because I was playing 5-10 and 10-25 during that time, which I simply just used the chip next time I played. I have had plenty of history of 5k and 10k chip transactions on my account. (subtle brag)

Some casinos have policies that if an employee finds money, they turn it in and if it's not claimed (lol) within a certain time period they get it.

Some have policies that all found money becomes casino property, and you'll get lit up if you try and take it and not turn it in (and are caught ldo).

First room I ever worked in had a "turn it in or else" policy, and of course that's the time I found a hundo bill under a poker table while getting a loose rack.

At current gig, I routinely walk by money or chips not nearby any certain person and pretend I didn't see it. It's just a hassle.

Seems like you need to take better care of your money, and not blame the people who stumble across what you don't care enough about to keep track of.

Security more than likely radioed ahead to OK that so there wouldn't be any problems getting their kickback.

This thread reminds me of when I used to find quarters on the playground and save up to buy baseball cards.

When I was at Circus Circus Reno when I was like 9, playing in the Midway, some older Asian lady pointed at the floor at a $5 on the ground. I don't think it was mine because my mom always gave me rolls of quarters to go play the games, so it was pretty nice of the lady to do that. I got to play some more!

Last time I found unattended cash was when I was 19 in one of the reservation casinos here in CA. About 90 in a machine and I just took it. Don't know what I'd do now that I'm older and have steady income.

Found a betting ticket on the floor (during March Madness) at Bellagio sportsbook during halftime of a game... it was a winner. The bet was $550 to win $500 so I cashed it in for $1050. I was rooting really hard during the 2nd half!!

Walked up to the ATM at the palms to use it and there was $200 just sitting in the tray...looked around nobody had seemed to just use it and nobody was running back to it for the money so yup I grabbed it and didnt use the ATM lol.

Snagged a $100 palazzo chip that was sitting under an empty craps table a few months ago. The entire pit was empty (no players or staff) so didn't feel too bad about claiming it. Especially since I've given Sheldon Adelson $30-40,000 in rake over the years.

ETA: Also had $1200 fall out of my pocket at Venetian several years ago. Never got that back. Security "didn't see anything" obv.

In before "found $1200 in Venetian poker room in 2008."

sounds like someone is $100 closer to getting unstuck from $1200 in the found/lost game! good job fink!

hows it even a question what you would do?
i think the only thing to do is to sit and look like its your machine..
then look over to right and left and behind (very auspiciously) see if it looks as if someone stepped away for a second or two. if not, its all fair game. if someone charges over then be like "oh you were playing here, my bad"
