I know that in the Supreme Courts 6th district there are published court documents describing what a contract with a patron and a casino is. I'd have to re-look up the exact wording. In plane old english it states when someone puts money into a slot machine, they have entered into a contract with the casino. As soon as the patron wins a "round" or "hand", the casino gives up all rights to the money being played. The responsibility and rightful ownership then shifts to the patron. When the patron departs from the game, or machine, the contract is settled.

You can argue that translation within the publication as abandoned property. As the patron has declared no rights to that machine (including the ticket inside) by leaving. I don't know where your at, but the 6th District is in the Midwest/Michigan....etc...

That is mighty "detailed" law to have basic knowledge of?? Regardless, have a citation?

It is not the Supreme Court's 6th District. Congress created the Circuit Courts of Appeals. The 6th, which I am in, encompasses, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Also, read the fine print on the back of these tickets. They are "bearer instruments"... Meaning there is NO identity attached. Whomever possesses such an instrument is the owner.

A BI has no bearing on stolen property.
