I completely understand the gambling logic there.

According to the Warren Buffett biography "Snowball" when Buffett was a kid he used to pick up uncollected betting tickets at the race track for pocket change.

I've probably found a few hundred over the years at casino's or other random spots. But best story was a few years back I was at a concert at a huge outdoor venue and while waiting in the beer line was a $100 bill on the ground scooped it up asked the people in front of me if they dropped they said no so I kept.. That was beer money for the weekend.

Was walking out of TI this past weekend heading to Harrah's. Walked by that frozen margarita bar by the starbucks and saw a hundred sitting on the floor. Walked in and scooped it up.

I picked up a $25 chip once while leaving the pit that I saw on the ground and had the worst run of cards ever.

Ever since then I either ignore it if its near the tables, or say "hey, I think you dropped something"

When I was in college I found $1700 wrapped in a ziplock bag and glued to the underside of the lid for the toilet reservoir in a townhouse I was renting. Found it after living there for six months. Based on other things I had found, ie small zip lock baggies in the garage, weed seeds along edges of carpet, it was clearly illegally acquired funds. I kept it ldo

I do this for a living.

Randomly drop/leave money ...

Or find money...???

Find money.

Another one I remembered. I was working for a newspaper about 10 years ago. I would take the papers out to the coin operated machines and put them in. I week prior a guy came up to me at about 4am while I was loading up and started asking me multiple questions about the times the machines are filled, who picks up the money, when, etc??? I was a little freaked that he might be wanting to rob me over the cash (about $300-500 in quarters) so I told him that Brinks picked it up in one of their trucks (lol). The next time I went out to do pick ups and drop offs I found 3 $20 bills in the first machine. Didn't think anything of it, went to the next, same thing. Ended up picking up something like $1600 on my route. One other guy did the machines on the other side of the city and out of town, he found about $3200. Never was able to figure it out, but turned it in (my boss was the type that would spend that much money to see if he could trust me). He let me keep $500.

what do you mean found bills in the machine? jammed in the coin slots? or like laying on top of the newspapers?

so some dude was leaving $60 in machines for the people that picked them up? or your boss was testing you...this doesnt sound real

In the area where the newspapers were. If anyone would have bought one and taken the time to look in the back of the machine they could have had $60-100 for 2 quarters. Several theories were given for what happened. Most the old ladies that worked at the paper assumed it was part of a drug deal. That made no sense to me. If I found all the money in one machine, maybe... but finding it spread all over town made no sense. The other theory was someone had called in about a month before that saying his son had been breaking into the machines and stealing the money out of them for a while, and he wanted to know how to pay it back... no one knew what to say and he was supposed to call back to talk to the owner but never did. I suppose it could have been him trying to pay back for his kids theft, and had approached me the week before to get his game plan set. Or it could have been my boss testing us to see if we were honest. I don't know how to explain it, and it is one of the things that has happened in my life that totally baffles me.

Technically: You are supposed to return vouchers to the security desk (lost and found), as well chips and such - they are property of someone else.

Reality: Next to everyone will pick them up and cash them out as soon as possible.

Vouchers can be voided. If you find a high value one, lets say 300, there is a chance that the guy noticed it and asked the security desk to find and cancel it. They do keep track of which one has been issued and which one has been redeemed at a billbreaker machine.

I would not worry about low value stuff like a 25 dollar voucher or chip, but i would return the high value vouchers to the desk. Good for karma too. Besides, if you are a regular there, this will make the round. The employees Do talk to each other. Cause - Effect.

one time my wedding band fell out of my pocket at Aria in the poker room. Got to room at 5 am and realized i didnt have it. Wife was asleep. Started freaking out bc she obv would kill me. Drunkinly retraced my steps from craps tables to poker room. A Chip runner found it and turned it in. Found the specific runner (some black lady) gave her a green bird.

It was probably someone reimbursing the owner for what they probably stole, no way your boss was putting thousands of dollars in scattered cash in the machines.

My dad and his business partner used to own a bunch of newspaper machines in NY, they had a big problem with theft. Someone was actually stealing the bundles of newspapers between the time the truck dropped them off and before their helper showed up to fill the machines. One night they staked out the train station and busted the thief loading the bundles into his trunk. They gave the guy 2 choices, he could either pay back what they said he had stolen (it was around $700 or so), or he could wait at gunpoint for the police to come. My dad said they made a trip to the ATM, the guy paid up and they never had a problem with him again.

I've found slot vouchers for under $1 millions of times and once found a $20 in the casino floor. I just pocketed the $20 and left the casino immediately.

I've seen sports tickets all the time but never picked them up. After some of the stories in this thread, I'm going to start picking them up and checking.

Saw a bill blowing through 711 lot. Picked it up and it was a hundo. Nobody else around. Pocketed it.

I was in a casino over a decade ago and had a c-note fall out of my pocket on the way to the poker room, didn't realize it until about an hour later. I called the floor over, he called security to review the cameras and apparently someone picked it up immediately after it fell out and stuck it in a machine. She got taken to the back room and told security it was only a $5, I had to fill out an affidavit saying I didn't have any fives and it was a hundred. She ended up getting charged with theft and I got the money back from the courts a few months later when she was convicted.

Wow. I guess being nitty (probably wrong word, whatever) paid off you

If I drop a hundred dollar bill, all I could ever do about it is be pissed at myself.

One problem in your logic. No way 99% of people who walk the earth would put thousands into random newspaper machines to test the employees. You have never met the person I used to work for. If he didn't have an obscene amount of money, he would be in a mental hospital and on a no-fly list. He was blessed with marrying into a ten figure net worth and has nothing to do with his time other then work a few hours a week, torture his employees, and open million dollar art galleries in his basement because he had nothing else to do with the extra space. I would have usually pocketed the money and had a blow out with friends at the bar the weekend after, but I felt that the chance that he had put it their was SO great that I turned every dime in. The other employee agreed and did the same thing. Glad I no longer work at that dead end dump.

This past year I lost a $500 tournament lammer at an Oklahoma casino. Merry Christmas! Also, I know a guy that placed a $1 chip in a urinal and it was gone within 10 minutes LoL

They did a bit on the man show once where they went to a track and put I think it was $20 in a toilet and 100% of people fished it out.
