It's not likely a scam. It is probably a legitimate mistake. The department of gaming wouldn't care about abandoned credits unless there was a dispute over them.
What I would do is cash out the ticket and put it aside. If someone came looking for it I would hand it over to them. If no one showed up after a few hours I'd just keep the ticket. If it was a large amount of money like over $100 I would flag a floor-person and tell them.
The logic here is that a small amount of money turned over to the house would probably go unclaimed and the house would get the money, but a larger amount of money is more likely to be claimed by someone.

Subject: [vpFREE] Is it a scam?
Here is the picture.
You sit down at a VP machine to play for a while. You notice the machine
next to you has about $19.65 worth of abandoned credits. You play your
machine for about 1 1/2 hours or more. No one comes to the machine next to
you to claim the abandoned credits.
Is the abandoned machine a set up by the department of gaming to see if
anyone tries to claim the coins besides the owner? What would you do?
Curious me.
