I forgot to cash out some vouchers while in Las Vegas. These vouchers are for the downtown casino Main Street Station. They were printed on 04-04-07 and will expire 30 days from that date. My local casino will print a automatic voucher receipt when you cash out on a slot machine. It has the casino name, a voucher number, date, time, and a barcode. I took two vouchers home today and uploaded them to my computer and decoded the barcodes. The actual result is also printed onto the voucher on the side of the ticket and under the barcode.
2. I was playing a game while having my player's card inserted into the machine during my entire session in order to accumulate points. I booked a nice win and had to redeem the cash out voucher at the cashier cage. My question is, given that my player's card was inserted into the machine the whole time, does that mean all of my info (name, address, points on my card, basically every bit of info stored on my player's card), is automatically embedded into the voucher's '20+ digit identification/verification' number? The reason I ask is because I assume it is, in which case I'm curious as to why the cage employee still asked for my player's card before he could give me my winnings?
For instance, what would have happened if I told them I lost my card? Would not giving them my player's card prevented me from cashing the voucher?
1. Varies by location.
2. Possible but I don't think so.
3. When a players card is needed to cash out, it is for their record keeping to make sure you don't go over the CTR threshhold. If no players card, your ID works just as well.
I routinely cash out large ($1500+) tickets but as I said, amounts vary by location.
1. Again out of curiosity, what's the largest amount you've seen a machine being able to accept?
3. So if the voucher is under $10,000, no CTR will be filed, right?
The 1199.99 threshold shouldn't matter when you go to a cage. My understanding is that it's got to be 1 event, 1 game that pays you more and there is no way a cashier can know if a $3000 voucher wasn't accumulated with smaller winners, each being smaller than $1200. Normally you need to call an attendant to be paid for any one jackpot over that threshold. Same way for chips, you can cash in $1500 chips, but a cashier doesn't know how many games you played, what you started with and in fact if you won at all.
I think you can redeem a voucher up to $2000 at a kiosk at Tropicana in AC. I've yet to have a voucher get that high--I run to cash them before I either forget about them or leave the credits in a machine where I'll find an excuse to keep playing them. My max was in the $900 range.I think you can redeem a voucher up to $2000 at a kiosk at Tropicana in AC.

My largest ticket was for $6000 from a $2 Spin Poker game ($90 max bet). Unfortunately all I did was break even, lol. And obviously I had to go to the cage and show my PC or ID.
Hey--at least you broke even!
There is no personal information stored on a cashout voucher.

this happened in 2012 and a casino is trying to issue summons to court for theftfound credit in slot machine. asked if anyone was playing machine. waited a while and cashed voucher. casino tracked me by my card and over 2 years later took me into office, took name and address, read me my rights, and said i will receive summons for court for theft. they stated it was their money. can i be charged with theft
Less'>Yes. Obviously, you've been charged, so the State believes they have a reasonable likelihood of convicting you.
Depending on the value of the voucher, you could be facing very serious, felony charges.
It's best NOT to continue to post details about this case online. Detectives and prosecutors have internet access (and subpoena power) too.
My advice is to discuss this matter - in private - with an experienced, Arizona-licensed criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. The stakes are high here.
