More details to this question:
He put it in his pocket. A little while later, a casino officer asked my husband if he picked up a $100.00. He told them yes, gave it to them and they asked to see his ID which he showed them. They wrote it down and then said have a good day. They never said if he was going to be charged just said that in this state there is no finders keepers.

I doubt if he will be charged with a crime. I would have to research the issue but my first thought is that it was lost property and he had some right to it.
