Casino employees have generally been very flexible and generous with
me in my adventures with lost, expired, and almost unreadable cash out
tickets. It's hard to believe that I have yet to lose any value from
one. One from Terrible's had expired by a few weeks or so. When the
supervisor first looked at it, she thought that it was around a year
old and said that she wouldn't honor it, but when she realized the
actual time involved, she cashed it. A supervisor at Fitzgerald's
gave me the hardest time. The ticket was only for $10 and it had only
expired by a few days, but she wanted identification. I once kept one
in my car in the direct sun in the summer, which blacked it out so
badly that at first, I couldn't even find it, but, although it wasn't
easy for casino employees to read, they cashed it. Keeping good
records helps. I lost one but, since I could tell the supervisor
which machine I was playing, when I cashed out, and for how much, he
paid me for it.
