The answer is yes, but the good thing about gambling tax law for big winners is that, unlike income taxes, gambling taxes are not progressive. Whether you win $1,500 at the slot machine or $1.

So I was at a bar in a casino and a guy was talking about him almost losing $500 because he was a dumbass.

Unless you receive a loan from someone you must by law report all sources of income & that includes lottery & any gambling winnings. You will most likely receive a reduction in food stamps depending on the amount you won. I know in many states (incl ca & ny) if you win the lottery you must pay back your welfare/food stamp earnings.

he said thought he cashed out of his machine. but when he went to the cashiers cage, he couldn't find his slot ticket.
he went back to the machine and saw a lady there playing. the amount on the machine was $5xx.
he asked her if there was $ in the machine when she sat down. she said no.
He went to security.
Cameras showed that after he left, she sat down. and it also showed that there was still $5xx in the machine when he left.
he said security went to talk to her. she refused to give back the $.
they asked him if he wanted to press charges. he said as long as he gets his $ back, she's free to go.
and he got his $ back.
Yeah, this makes sense. Security can prove the $ belongs to someone else.
it's not yours and not giving it back when asked is stealing.
if I found $ in a machine and security told me the $ belongs to XYZ and the cameras can prove it, I would have no problem giving it up.
On the other hand, I would probably just cash out instead of playing it and take the ticket to a self-service kiosk to cash it. then leave.

Doing this will probably force the casino/police to follow the path of an arrest warrant for you(the person in the photo). I wouldn't plan on visiting a casino in that city for awhile.

I thought of another thing you could do in this kind of situation.
Lots of people talk about crummy casino personnel they run across. Cash it out and go give it to your least favorite tip hustler, or whatever person you had a problem with.
Have a good laugh when it is re-claimed by security later.

Quasimodo? Does that name ring a bell?

Each ticket is logged by the slot machines when they're inserted or cashed out. Whether someone plays the money or cashes it out, they're still caught.
My favorite is when someone puts in $20 on top of it, spins once, and cashes the whole thing out. Still able to determine whose credits is whose.

This feeling is heavy, makes my body ache and I'm ready; To fall into the sky and I see now, the reason why. My heart is heavy, takes me to a place I can't breathe. Only then I know why I see the warning sign.

What happens if you owe a casino money distribution

It gives the thief some plausible deniability if caught. 'What? I put money in spun some times and cashed out. I thought I won, isn't that how slot machines work? Sorry, didn't realize, here's the money.'
Doubtful they will be arrested if they go this route. If they just cash out the ticket then it's a lot harder to deny that it isn't straight up theft.

First and foremost, never trust those stupid 'reserved' signs. They're completely pointless.
If players aren't able to remember to cash out after being done at the machine, they'll be at the mercy of hoping that the Slots / Security / Surveillance teams are competent, and that the CCTV system is able to get the right angles.

They still owe player A $100. If they refuse to pay it, they're banned until the have a change of heart. I've seen one specific instance where the casino took the stance to reimburse the player directly, and have the accused owe the casino instead.

I love this scenario. I've seen this happen. Whomever spun the reel, gets the jackpot. Player A would get their original volume of credits back, but they have no claim to the jackpot.

No it doesn't. Even after paying back the money, depending on circumstance, we may ban the player anyway if it's decided that they're predatory in nature.
