Q: How do I press charges on a casino that took over $500 from me and said it was counterfeit. Escorted me out.
I was escorted out of the casino and told I could not come back. I know the money was good. I have never had any kind of evolvement with counterfeit.

A:
If a casino confiscated your money, alleging it was counterfeit, take careful steps to address the situation. First, review your financial records to confirm the source and authenticity of the money. Collect witness statements from anyone who observed the incident and can vouch for the legitimacy of the funds. Request security footage from the casino to support your claim. Consider filing a police report to initiate an investigation.
You may also contact the Nevada Gaming Control Board to file a complaint. Keep in mind that proving the money's authenticity rests on your shoulders, and pursuing legal action may involve a complex process. Alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation or arbitration, can be explored for a potentially quicker resolution.
