What is the responsibility of a player who stumbles on a machine containing a credit balance? I sat down at a slot machine, casually put in a $20 bill and got about three spins in before I look down and realized there is a $192 balance on the machine. I knew I hadn't won any money on my spins, but by now my money has been mingled in with that credit balance. I looked around and nobody was nearby. So I printed the ticket and cashed it in, thankful for my fortune. Did I do the right thing? What would have happened if I had summoned a slot attendant?
