<<<3. In Reno, at the Silver Legacy, I sat down at a flat top, and
found a large change purse, full to the brim, with coins, on the
machine. I called Security and turned it in to them. They opened
it and found no ID, but lots of bills and coins. They told me that
if no one claimed it w/i one week, that they'd notify me. I presume
it was claimed, as I didn't hear further.

The valuable lesson that I've learned from all this is NOT to walk
around with more than a few hundred dollars on my person. As soon
as I check-in to the hotel, I open a safe deposit box. If I lose
the few hundred that I'm carrying, I go to the SD box and replinish
my wallet. This has the twofold benefit of protecting the bulk of
my bankroll from carelessness or theft, and additionally, forcing me
to take a short break from vp, when I'm doing poorly.>>>
Babe, try calling or going back to Security. At Harveys, I turned in $100+
that was all crumpled together & left in the coin hopper. Security advised me
to check back in a month. No one claimed it, so they gave it to me.
Regarding carrying a lot of money, advise using your bank for withdrawals &
deposits. If it's a large win, ask for a check. No sense in offering
temptation.
