Question:

Chung was at Belmont Park, a racetrack operated by the New York State Racing Association. He bought a gambling voucher for use in SAMS, which are "automated machines which permit a better to enter his bet by inserting money, vouchers, or credit cards into the machines, thereby enabling him to select the number or combination he wishes to purchase. A ticket is issued showing those numbers." The money credited to a voucher can be bet at once or can be used over time to make bets on SAMS. Chung forgot his voucher in a SAMS machine; it had several thousands of dollars credit on it. Someone found it and traded it in for cash. The betting system does not link a person to a voucher, so the thief was unknown. Chung sued, contending that the racetrack should be liable for failing to check the identity and ownership of vouchers prior to their use. Is the racetrack liable or is Chung out of luck? [Chung v. New York State Racing Assn., 42 UCC Rep.Serv.2d 867 Dist. Ct., City of N.Y., NY (2000)]
