Casino Reaction to Big Wins

A guy (our hero) walks into a casino and uses his credit card to buy a $10k betting chip. He puts it on the roulette table at 35:1 payout, and hits for $350k.

At that point, do you really think they're going to let him walk out without answering a few questions? But no, he doesn't stop there.

He pockets $50k, and lets the $300k ride. It hits again, for a $10.5 Million payout.

Would they even have enough chips at the table to pay? What do they do if not?

What are the odds he'll actually get paid?
What are the chances he'll get out of the casino without a better explanation than "I'm just lucky"?

What do they do if they can't prove fraud?

Addendum: Real casinos don't allow five digit roulette bets, or anything even close, much less six. He's gonna have to find a private, unregulated room.... i.e., mafia. Let's get him on into the action, shall we? =o)
