There is something here that I seriously don't understand?? How can a casino refuse to cash in casino chip(s)? I mean isn't/wouldn't it be considered a form of an I.O.U.? Basically your giving the casino YOUR money to hold as collateral and they in turn give you chips for their casino which is equal to the amount of your cash that you gave them. How can they legally say ok you gave us $10,000 of your money BUT we're not going to give it back to you because we think you might be a drug dealer trying to launder your money. My personal opinon is that they don't have any right to keep your money, If the casino suspect wrong doing with the casino chips then the casino should call in New Jersey's case the New Jersey Casino Control Commission podium actually located on the floor of each Atlantic City casino which would in turn contact the Gaming Control Board which is actually part of the New Jersey State Police Department and let them handle it directly and that the casinos should NEVER and I mean never take it on their own to act like the police because would what the casinos are doing considered larceny? keeping money that does not legally belong to them and again if they suspect some sort of wrong doing shouldn't they contact the appropriate legal authorities and not take matters into their own hands?
