Default Re: Need Advice QUICK, problem!

They won't pay. You could make a stink that they didn't check the ID when they sold the coins to the undrage person, but you'll have a hard time.

Many years ago, I had the same problem with my underage girlfriend. She hit a jackpot and before I could get over from the blackjack table (I was 21), they were asking for her ID. A big stink ensued and I called my dad, who is an attorney, and also happened to be in Vegas at the time.

It was at the Golden Nugget downtown and he got a meeting with Steve Wynn. My dad was a fairly high roller at the time and, during the meeting with Wynn, he said something like, "Well, my friends at the Rivera . . . " And Wynn interrupted him with, "F*ck your friends at the Rivera."

Other than that, they got along well. The jackpot was $1,000. Wynn gave my dad $500 and they called it a day.
