So instead you do the right thing and get screwed.

How are you screwed? The money isn't yours and never was yours. Keeping something that doesn't belong to you makes you a theif. Someone else keeping something that doesn't belong to either of you makes them the theif.

Simple answer: don't give the casino the money. If you want to do the right thing, give the casino your name and number, and tell them you found a "modest" sum of money. If anyone comes looking for it, they can call you and, if they can identify the amount (and whatever other identifying information may be available), you do the right thing and give them the money. Otherwise you keep it.

Say you do pick up the money off the ground and a camera happens to record you in the act. . .

What happens then? Can the casino charge you with any illigal activity, like claim you were trying to steal the money? Or could they just take the money you found?

One time I saw a few pennies under the poker table and wanted to pick them up (since I collect pennies), but I glanced up at the camera and wondered what would happen to me. . .I didn't think the "risk" was worth the "reward" just in case something were to happen. . .

I lost $400 once.

Just opened up my wallet to show my id at the library, and next time I looked it was gone.

I reported it to security at the library and am still waiting for some honest soul to turn it in. 35 years later.

I have found a few bucks on the ground since then, but am still down about $350.

Needless to say, I will not be reporting any future findings.

I found a $500 slot ticket, but unfortunately I was at work and the eye in the sky could have been on me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] So we shredded it.

Thhis seems very wrong to me as there is a good chacne the casino ocudl find the guest that lost the $500 ticket rather than keeping the money.

At orientation today - If I find money and turn it in and it goes unclaimed, after 90 days I can get 500 dollars of it.
The extra will NOT go to the casino. The casino will give it to the employee hardship relief fund. For example, this money was used to help casino employees displaced by the huricane.

that money is goin to buy the indians firewater and a few more arrows for their revenge on the whiteman.

The Milwaukee Police should have been called, a report should have been taken, and the money should have been inventoried by the police. Same thing as if you got your butt whipped inside the casino...cops are called, reports taken, arrests made. The casino should be held accountable for not filing a police report. Potawatomi is a last class joint, which should be avoided anyway. That's the joint where they will "escort" you to your vehicle if they catch you in possession of a cell phone. Boycott that hole.

Indian casinos are on sovereign territory. A local cop has no authority to come take a lost and found report without the express permission of the tribe. Heck even the FBI is reluctant to interfere in matters occuring on Tribal land.

Besides a cop has more important things to do than file lost and found reports for $700. The money belongs to whomever they say it belongs to, the OP has not been screwed.

I was at Borgata at 8 AM on a weekday with about six tables going. They were re-covering the one next to us and when the moved one of the legs a little, I saw three red chips under it. I snatched them up and told the dealer if I got a winner before his down ended they were his. Oddly enough...I got KK on the very next hand and took down a decent pot!
