i had a somewhat similar experience in the way they can track those tickets. in my case the lesson was always count your money from the ticket machine before leaving...

Abandoned credits on machines are a monument to the fallibility of the human brain. No one intentionally leaves credits on a machine and walks away. But it happens hundreds of times a day in Las Vegas.

in Nevada the law says that money (cash, tickets, chips) that you “find” in a casino belongs to the casino and you can be charged with felony theft if you take it.

I was told that keeping found money is not a crime. Can anyone cite
the statute that supports this?

I know a person who was charged with petty theft in Colorado for taking $3 out of a poker machine. I've been told by other hustlers that in Mississippi abandoned credits belong to the public, not the casino.

The way to muddy up the situation is: What if the lady had stuck a bill in the machine and played a few hands before cashing out. Then who would the money belong to?

In that case it would unquestionably belong to the player.
A smart hustler will always do this.

As to the casino's contention that found money = stealing, sounds like the usual amusing theories espoused by employees with more imagination than legal training. If it were up to management, any form of leaving the house with more than you came in with would be a crime.

I've heard these theories for years.
What I ain't heard yet is the voice of a casino employee who's passed the bar and is qualified to give legal advice.
