Re: Finding Chips On The Floor
[ QUOTE ]
It turns out that I had two $20s stuck together when I bought in (I still don't know what the Monopoly crack meant); this was more than a half hour later, and I don't know how they knew they were my stuck bills. So immediately threw two redbirds to the dealer, because, hey, found money. [/ QUOTE ] It's usually pretty easy. One person will give the dealer all 20's. Next person gives the dealer a couple $100's. When the dealer gets a fill he finds an extra 20... he knows who gave it to him. I've seen that happen once (the other direction, actually...dealer gave the player too much and didn't notice it until 10 minutes later when he got a little wild-eyed finding his tray short $50--but he figured it out and the player who got too much instantly returned it).

Just last night, the floor comes up to me, with security by his side and holding a $20. He says, "You ever play Monopoly"; I think "WTF did I pass a bad bill?!"

[/ QUOTE ] Any explanation as to why he didn't count it when he received it and immediately turn back in the the extra $50? [/ QUOTE ] I was kinda watching, but only barely. I THOUGHT I saw the dealer give him too much, but since I hadn't been following along very closely I wasn't sure. Just looked like the dealer mistook a $50 for a $100. But the dealer didn't spread the money out, he just stuffed it into the tray. If I'd been watching, I woulda said something, but having only glanced that way a couple times during the process I wasn't comfy asking him to recount when I had only a mild suspicion. As for the player, I did kinda watch him to see if he would notice anything, and if he looked puzzled or something I mighta then spoken up. He really didn't seem to notice anything... he was clearly a n00b and he just grabbed the chips and stacked 'em and started paying attention to the cards. Didn't look like he intentionally kept extra, but he mighta. When it was discovered the dealer was calling for a fill. He counted his cash. Looked odd. Counted his tray. Started looking a little sick. About that time the floor had come to do the fill and saw the dealer's ears about to pop off. He calmed him down and asked him to run through the last 20 minutes, and that's when the dealer figured out he was finding a $50 in his cash instead of the $100 he'd remembered. And that player was the only one who'd gotten change during the down. So the dealer asked the guy "did you give me a $50 or $100" and the player said "$50" and the dealer explained "I think I gave you $180 when you got change, not $130". Player looks at his stacks and sees he still has like $160 of it and agrees he couldn't have >$130 if it was done right since he hadn't won a hand since he rebought. He handed over $50 and that was that. I was then feeling kinda bad that I didn't speak up and save the poor guy some heartache. If I'd been watching carefully...sure... But I hate correcting dealers that don't need correcting so I like to be 80% sure before I question 'em.

A busser at a restaurant found a flag at mirage and tried to cash it. He ws fired the next day. [/ QUOTE ] what's the deal with this anyway. it seems like the casino has ultimate authority to rob almost any player they want with these rules. if you walk out of the casino with your chips then re-enter do they have the right to confiscate them? what if you're gone for a month and can't track it on video? how's that work anyway. what would that busboy's best strategy be for cashing that flag? enter a poker tournament with it and then unregister and receive lower denomination chips?

Re: Finding Chips On The Floor
Why not just buy in at a craps game with it, play a few rounds and then either leave or get it colored up to black chips only? Then you can cash the blacks without any problem.

Re: Finding Chips On The Floor
semi-related i suppose:
last time i was in vegas i was staying at paris. i bought in for cash of approx $1000 a few different times at various games (whether i still had chips from my previous buy in or not). i think over the course of 4 days i had bought in for about $5K. when i was ready to leave i had $6.5K in chips and they gave me a really really hard time cashing out. they called the last pit i was at - were told i bought in for 1K, left with 1.5K, yada yada, the cage starting saying they weren't going to pay me. of course i flipped out and started yelling (i have a short temper when it comes to screwing me out of money that is rightfully mine). i was screaming that its not like i won 20k or something - i bought in for 5, was cashing out for 6.5...in the end i got money of course, but it took about 45 minutes and i had to stand there and suffer the embarrasment of being treated like a criminal to get money, 85% of which was mine before i walked into the damn place.
