While surfing on the Instagram I came across a video, where casino refuses to cash out $25k winning even after providing ID. Here is that short video. A person has won $25k in gambling, but lady at exchange refuses to change chips into cash. If that person would have violated rules, dealer would not have given him chips, but since he has chips, he has won fairly.

If such situation happens to you, how would you react? What a person even can do in this situation? Go away with chips? Give chips to someone else and let him cash out? Contact lawyer?

If I'm not mistaken, you won't be allowed to leave the casino with chips until you exchange them. There must be a reason why they don't want to exchange the chips for money, which means there is a suspicion of fraud, but if the player is sure that he won fairly, then in this case I would call the police so that they record the fact of the violation, when the casino does not want to pay out the winnings, so that it is officially recorded, and then I would contact a lawyer to resolve this legally.

Casinos dont have strict rules about letting chips leave the casino, because some people take them away as a souvenirs. Its not smart to take chips away outside, because casino can replace them with new. After hours of gameplay, chips became damaged, old, scratched.

As to the situation in video. The more I think about, the more I think a person who has recorded it is impatient or tries to hype. Because I dont believe that any casino on purpose wants to cause someone problems and get unnecessary attention.
