Re: Finding Chips On The Floor
[ QUOTE ]
Probably depends on jurisdiction. In Nevada, anything on the floor belongs to the casino. There are tales now and then of someone finding $500 and $1000 chips and trying to cash 'em and having them confiscated once the casino figures out they came from their floor. I even read a tale of someone at a slot finding a $100 chip on the floor beside them and pocketing it and 5 minutes later security comes and takes 'em away and they're told they are henceforth persona non grata and are told to leave forever. For $100's, you'll get away with it long as surveillance doesn't happen to see it. I've never found anything bigger than $5 and I just hand it to some favorite poker dealer as a toke. [/ QUOTE ] This may be true but in OP's case there shouldn't be anything wrong with him picking it up, putting it in his pocket and later cashing it. Poker rooms generally have less surveillance than house games like BJ, Craps, etc. and if the chip was visible and there was good surveillance someone would have spotted it earlier. I wouldn't sweat this. Now if it was a 1K or 5K chip in a poker room there might be heavier consequences - especially if OP is a low limit player who suddenly tries to cash a large denom chip.

Re: Finding Chips On The Floor
I once saw a quarter sitting on the poker podium in front of their monitor so they couldn't see it. I said "you have a quarter here". The reply was "We know! PLEASE TAKE IT (and don't tell anybody I said to). We keep hoping someone will just quietly pocket it so we don't have to do paperwork and nobody does."

Re: Finding Chips On The Floor
I would have the casino announce it on the loudspeaker so whoever lost it gets it back.
Reminde me of a time a guy I know got home and realized he had dropped a c-note in the parking lot of the grocery store he'd just left. He actually drove back like it was gonna be there waiting for him on the ground.

Re: Finding Chips On The Floor
It could have come from the dealers tray, if that is the case check to see if his rack is right if you know how much they are supposed to have. If they have their own banks and you are close to the dealer. Ask him if they lost a chip seriously. Otherwise don't say anything to the players, most are the scum of the earth (so who cares?). If you are in an indian casino take it to security and you can legally claim it in 30 days. Somebody will have to go to security if they did in fact lose it and have proof that it is their property. I did this and was able to claim after 30 days.

Re: Finding Chips On The Floor
I was told by security folks in the slot area of a NV casino, that as long as the $ wasn't touching their machine in any way, shape, or form, it's OK to pick it up.
Don't touch bills hanging out of the bill acceptor or coins in the bins... On that subject, how about credits in a machine with no player?
