I have. Many times. The casinos MUST fill out paperwork every time someone has a cash transaction of $3,000 or more and additional paperwork for $10,000 or more. If the casino cage knows you (perhaps you are a regular customer and they have your ID on file --- whether from a line of credit, W2Gs, known players file, . . .something) then they can dispense with asking you to show ID. But they still fill out the paperwork using your information on file. At the Silverton, they ask for ID for $1200 or more. In the cases we've been talking about here, the people turning in "found" tickets are not known to the casinos. These people will definitely be asked to show ID for amounts of $3000 or more --- sometimes less. If the tickets are small enough, most players take them to the change machines rather than the cage. There are still cameras on the transactions at most places, but not as much as at the casino cage. Bob
