I lost a ticket in the Orleans for over $200 earlier this year and the Orleans had the guy on video cashing it. Not sure if I left it in the machine or dropped it. After wasting my time with the Orleans staff, I went to Metro to file a police report. They wouldn't take one since I didn't know if it was left in the machine or if I dropped it. Metro told me that if it was left in the machine then it was abandonment and anybody could take it. I asked if it was property of the casino and they said no. If I dropped it then it was finders keepers losers weepers. Now if there was some kind of distraction and somebody tried to take it from the machine then that is different again according to Metro. Also, be careful when at the Orleans because the Slot supervisor told me that there are regulars in there who take money from machines. Obviously, it must be profitable. Not sure why the Orleans can't kick them out. I had a friend who
was distracted at Terribles and got a $50 ticket taken. Terribles did the right thing and gave her the money back.

I've found money in Nv. casinos 4 times, with amounts being from $100 to $1800. I've also lost my wallet with $3300 in it. The kind soul mailed it back to me however....minus the cash. No arrests, no felony convictions, and no discussions of any sort on any of it. It all really does even out in the end.

>in Nevada the law says that money (cash, tickets, chips) that you find in a casino belongs to the casino and you can be charged with felony theft if you take it.
I was told that keeping found money is not a crime. Can anyone cite
the statute that supports this?
