$\begingroup$ I am not sure whether the casino can really withhold your money if they don't have anything to prove you were trying to win money by fraud. This answer of Law.SE seems to support this, though the attention there was not that great. Do you have any source to support that they can withhold your money if they kick you out? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Secespitus I have no source on this, but I was under the assumption that the tokens you gain, not being actual money, can be withold if they suspect you acquired it by cheating. Better be safe than sorry, at least they surely can't withold actual money. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ I was mostly relying on the answer I mentioned and the comments. Specifically I think the casino is bound to cash out chips on demand by the chip bearer. To my senses, casino chips are a de facto debt instrument redeemable by the bearer. Consider the following legal theories of reasonable expectation, implied-in-fact contract, legitimate expectations and estoppel. But I am by no means a lawyer, so I totally agree with the Better safe than sorry approach. Just wanted to check whether you knew something more about this than I do. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Although this is an interesting method to get away with the win, I'm afraid this does not answer the question: What would/can casino do to me?. Can you expand your answer to address this? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ "cash in immediatly in case the casino wants to kick you out without exchanging your tokens for money" - Surely that would be illegal, exposing the casino to legal action and liability for damages above and beyond the face value of the chips. $\endgroup$
