500$ out of nowhere

Woooohoooo! That's what I'd say if I found that chip.

Now, if I saw someone drop it or if it was obvious who it belonged to, I'd immediately give it back. But if I just so happened to spot it in the middle of the hallway or something, drinks are on me!

He was just walking and saw it on the floor. He kind of looked around and nobody was there so he picked it up. The rule states that if you find it in the casino, it belongs to the casino. He didn't know what it was worth when he found it. It was black, I think, and pretty beat up.

He went to the cage and said:

My buddy had some good luck playing blackjack and gave me this chip and told me to have fun with it. Is this a real chip, or is he fucking with me? The lady said, "no, it's real."

100
200
300 and she just kept on going.

Lucky Day.

The finding a chip in the casino example is even better than mine of finding it on the floor. Technically it belongs to the casino -- so you'd be "stealing" if you didn't pick up the pick and return it to the cashier's cage. I would pick it up and put it in my pocket right away no doubt about it.

NOW, if a stranger was walking in front of me and I saw him drop the chip, that's a different story... however the example of this $500 is exactly the same as the first example above, which is why there is no doubt about I'd keep it and not think for a second otherwise

I thought they started putting microchips or something in the really big denominations for tracking, perhaps only a casino or two experimenting?

Same thing happen to me.

What actually happen was FCP was in the middle of switching networks from ongame to the new dsg network. Before the move, they promised players to give them back money they earned towards an uncleared bonus. Eg. If you clear 60% of a 100 dollar bonus, and never had the chance to complete the remaining 40% of the bonus, then they would give you $60 cash and give back $40 in bonus.

Obviously they screwed this up majorly and gave people too much money, but have since adjusted accounts to have it corrected...even though it appears they still screwed up the OP.
