I only had $40 with me but figured we can play penny machines for a bit. I sat at a machine and played. Moved to another. Then another. Then saw my friend and sat at open machine. I put some money in it. It was a penny machine I had never played before. Played and won something but didn't really pay to much attention because cocktail lady approached and friend ordered drink and we were chatting. After cocktail lady came back I had about $53 and played it down to $50. Didn't think much of it. Cashed out and gave my friend $25 b/c we split winnings. Then we played other machines. As I continued to play, about 30 minutes later, a man approached saying he was security. He asked if I knew why he was there. I thought I won a raffle or something. I said no. He said that at some point I was sitting in a machine were a person forgot to cash out and I cashed out his ticket. I had no idea what he was talking about. Then he said it was a machine by bathroom. That was the machine that I cashed out $50. I told him I put money in it and played and won something. He said someone had stated that he was playing multiple machines and when he realized he failed to cash out a ticket went back to a machine and someone had cashed out $50. He claimed it was his. The security said he looked at video and I had not played the machine for too long before I cashed out. Which is true since I usually cash out after I double my money. But I did play for a while since my friend was waiting for his drink. And if he saw the video he would have seen me put money in the machine. I again explained I put money in it and was playing it. He said he was hoping I would do the right thing and give him $50. Told him I honestly did not see any funds in the machine before I put money in it. Which again was true. Moreover I told him I too left my money in the machines since I played most of the $40 I came with. Also, told him that very unlikely this person, had he failed to cash out, had left $50 in a machine since I put money in the machine and had won something. The person only looked at the amount cashed out and for some reason wanted it. He said if I did not want to do the right thing and give him $50 he would 86 me from property so I could not come back. There was no one by the machine when I sat down. Moreover, I honestly put money in the machine and played and won something. I got the impression this security guy just wanted $50 since I did not even see the individual claiming he left money in a machine. He asked me to follow him and asked security desk to give him a form. Nonetheless, I simply told him I did not have to sign an 86 form because I had no intention of visiting the Grand again. Found my friend and left. My suggestion: if your downtown, stay by the Fremont street area and avoid this Hotel. Unless, of course, you are prepared to loose, even if you win."^^ .
