Unknowingly Used Counterfeit 100 Dollar Bill At A Casino

Card image cap

I borrowed 400 dollars from a friend and used them for chips in a casino. 3 of the 100 dollar bills were fine, but one was a fake (we did not know). The chip runner identified it and notified the manager who contacted the police and said it was standard practice.

An evidence and property report was filed by the police and they asked where that bill came from. I explained to them that I had no idea and it could be from the casino (we went day before yesterday and yesterday too) or the ATM (inside or outside) or another stranger who owed my friend the money when they borrowed it from him. My friend also had no idea that the bill was fake. The police noted my DL number.

The report has the person code as O (“owner or person in lawful possession”) and arrested marked as “no”. They confiscated the bill (which is fine, I don’t care about it).

The police asked the casino if I’m banned, to which the manager replied “no”. Casino security also told me that’s the end of it and I’m free to go.

I am in the U.S. on an L1 visa and have an upcoming trip to India (my home country), would there be any problems at immigration? Are there any next steps I should follow? Perry stressed with this whole situation.
