Let’s all play the ethics game. (No, I really don’t want responses on these questions)

1. You find a dollar token on the ground, do you pick it up? If you pick it up and ask everyone around you if they lost a dollar until some say “yes” it’s mine? If you gave it to charity, a homeless person, or anyone else you still took something that didn’t belong to you.

2. Someone you have never had dealings with comes up to you with a handful of valuable chips and offers you all of the chips for pennies on the dollar (they tell you they got them on their Vegas trip 40 years ago complete with picture of them holding the exact chips). You also know they are very wealthy and don’t need the money. Do you buy them or do you tell them how much the chips are worth and give them full value for the chips.

3. You work in the casino industry and you have inside contacts that give you the opportunity to pick up collectable items for you own collection. Do you decline the offer to take the items because you know others would pay a premium for them or do you take them for you own collection?

4. When you go flea market/antique shop and you see chips way below value do you tell the owner what the real value of the chips are or do you buy them an trade them with others to upgrade your collection?

5. You harvest roulette chips/NCV chips from casinos to use to keep, trade or sell to increase your collection. You buy (or keep if they are given to you) these items in your collection knowing that they were obtain in non-traditional manner.

6. You have walk out of a casino with a slot club card with someone else name on it?

7. You have taken TITO tickets/credits/coins that were left behind for someone else (and didn’t report it to the casino workers).

8. You have knowledge a particular casino collectable and how limited it is, do you tell everyone you know, a select handful of people, or do you keep the information to yourself and pick up as many as you can?

9. The machine you’re playing and malfunctions giving you an extra silver strike, token, coin (or in table games, the dealer makes a mistake in your favor). Do you keep the bet or do you give it back to the casino?

10. You buy a rack of chips from a casino; you take the clear plastic chip rack with you and you. Should you bring it back on the next trip to the casino or do you keep it?

Ethics are always grey around the edges. You think you’re right until you get caught or someone calls you to the carpet.

I myself have done some of above things so I’m not passing judgment on anyone. If I had the opportunity, I’m might consider doing some again.

I’m sure there are a few individuals that might be able to give the correct answer. But then again is there a correct answer?
