Here’s what happened when a casino patron left slot machine unattended
Police want help to find a couple who left the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino with more than $1,000 in winnings that authorities say they hadn’t actually won.
Investigator Kris Hines Jr. said Christopher Ray Kinney and Gina Renee Kinney had not put any money into a slot machine, rather they cashed a stolen ticket.
They are each sought on a grand larceny charge. Police believe they are husband and wife, Hines said.
Beau Rivage security staff called Biloxi police Monday to report a casino patron had left a slot machine unattended and a couple had stolen the cash-out ticket and collected the winnings, Hines said.
Anyone who knows of their whereabouts is asked to call Biloxi police at 228-392-0641 or its criminal investigation division at 228-435-6112.
Tipsters can also make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 1-877-787-5898 or go to mscoastcrimestoppers.com.
