Recovering lost TITO tickets. Was: I Left $200 on a Machine!

#1

On a related subject (collecting on lost tickets), I have had two positive experiences.

One was at the Palms where I left the casino without cashing a ticket of almost $200 and then inadvertantly discarded it with some trash. With little hope of recovery, I went back the next day and met with a slot manager. Since I was able to identify when and where I had cashed out, she was able to verify my ticket number, the amount, and that it had not been cashed. She then cancelled the original ticket and paid me. A very pleasant experience,

The second event was similar. I had to leave the Atlantis (in Reno) quickly to catch a plane and took an uncashed ticket of a little over $200. My intention was to cash it during a trip I had scheduled about a month later but I was forced to change my plans and cancel that trip. Since the ticket said "invalid after 60 days," I mailed it. It never got there (or at least, it didn't get to the person addressed). To jump to the bottom line, I got the money back (although in this instance, they waited until the 60 days elapsed and verified that no one had cashed the ticket). Again, I was able to verify when and where I had played so they could identify the specific uncashed ticket.

I don't know what the general experience is, but I am two for two on recovery and in each case was not expecting such a positive result.

I had a similar experience at the Texas Station. I lost a ticket and
knew which bank of machines it had come from and how much it was for,
but not which machine it had come from. We had to look through the
record that each machine had of what tickets it had disbursed and
whether or not they had been cashed on several machines before we
found it and I was paid immediately. I even collected on an expired
ticket. At Terrible's, I kept one for a few months past its
expiration. At first, they thought it was over a year past its
expiration and they told me they wouldn't cash it, but, once they
realized it was only a few months past its expiration, they cashed it.
