I wouldn't keep it if it was 5 cents. Seriously, there have been some bad consequences for keeping small amounts found on the floor or in a machine. My memory fails me at the moment but I seem to remember a little old lady getting treated very badly in some casino in Detroit or in that area. It's just not worth the hassle. And there are dozens of times when I see these vultures walking around "silver-mining/ticket-mining", they are just losers and probably get thrown out occasionally by Security. I just wouldn't mess with it. In fact, I saw a $5 on the floor once and I put my foot on it and stood there until I could flag Security or a tech. I always assume a camera is watching me in a casino at all times, I just purposely assume that. And I'm not going to give anyone any grounds to bar me if I can help it.

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.
