  It's said that it is illegal to cash out a tito that is not yours.  I would not care to be scrutinized on the surveilance tapes taking repeated advantage of an overpayer, either. The casinos can be mighty mean about such things. Things are different now.

Love the history lessons and the stories that you are sharing here.  Just wish I could have walked around with you and found those types of machines! It sure would help my income.

     The post about the Tropicana reminded me of one of my first trips to Atlantic City. As a matter of fact, this happened while I stayed at the Tropicana.
 
     Barely past 21 and a little naive about casino gambling (no one would confuse me with a hustler), I searched the floor for quarter 9/6 Jacks or Better, thinking it the best gamble for my woeful bankroll.
 
     After awhile I finally found an upright machine with a 25 on it and the red Draw Poker face plate. I approached it with my bucket of quarters and fed one in there.
 
     Plink! It fell into the tray.
 
     I grabbed a few more quarters and tried again.
 
     Plink! Plink! Plink!
 
     Great. I locate an unoccupied quarter machine after looking for one for forever and it does not work.  While I stood there cursing my misfortune, the voice of a man nearby snapped me out of my self-pitying reverie.  
 
     *That is a twenty-five DOLLAR machine.*
 
     Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Well, no wonder my quarters fell through.
 
     I sheepishly stooped down to recover my ducats when my hand brushed against something else in the tray. What is this? I peered into the corner of the tray to discover someone had left a stack of ten 25 dollar tokens behind.
 
     Nut, this is blind squirrel. Blind squirrel, this is nut.
 
     After nine hours of waiting time (two minutes in real time), I determined I had given the original owner enough time to realize his mistake and return to the machine.
  
     Never having a windfall like this, I could not just take the tokens and immediately cash them. I brought them up to the room just so I could bid them good morning (Hello boys!) before redeeming them when I left the next day.
 
     Unfortunately, this would remain my biggest win on a trip for about ten years.
