I know a person who was charged with petty theft in Colorado for taking $3 out of a poker machine. I've been told by other hustlers that in Mississippi abandoned credits belong to the public, not the casino.
The way to muddy up the situation is: What if the lady had stuck a bill in the machine and played a few hands before cashing out. Then who would the money belong to?
