The group gave it up and the casino comped dinner for six. Maybe they should have left when they found it and looked for a lawyer!
Maybe, but I think most judges and juries would see a big difference between a nickel and a $25,000 chip. I doubt they would be successful in cashing it --- presuming this wasn't a group that normally possessed chips of that size. A comped meal for six might be the best result obtainable. I've received some private emails on this thread for "ask Bob Nersesian this" or "ask Bob Nersesian that." We will have him back on the show and we will be asking him several questions on this subject. Keep in mind, however, that every case is different and every jurisdiction is different. Sometimes little things change the judicial outcome. I don't think we will ever get a 100% clear roadmap of "this is what to do and this is what not to do." Bob
