The burden is not on the player to prove that he was a customer of the gaming establishment. The burden is on the casino. If you say that you played there "a few months ago" -- or even longer, it is up to them to prove that you didn't. You are not required to have your play tracked, nor is there any law on the books prohibiting you from taking your own casino chips home and redeeming them later.

Man there are a lot of people on this forum that think they are lawyers.
First off, Ignorantia legis neminem excusat. Casinos don't need to have signs say the law.

Second, the burden is <u>not[/n] on the casino. I don't know what law school you went to but you need to go back. If the patron wants to get his money back and the casino refuses, the patron would have to sue. The burden is on the plaintiff , patron, in general and to show he gambled at that establishment in order to rebut the casino's claim that he didn't.

To the other people claiming you can use chips to pay debts. You can't, and anyone that says otherwise doesn't know the law. You can use chips to tip a waiter/waitress, but the right to tip using casino chips limited to within the gambling establishment. All debts/bills must be paid in US currency period! Other casinos are authorized to honor casinos chips, but again only for gambling purposes.
