They usually just leave, especially because these are typically non-residents who do it in the first place.
But some of them are too addicted to gambling to stay away, or they are too ignorant to realize how seriously Nevada takes it.
Google "extradition casino markers" and you will see TONS of Nevada-based lawyers with scary websites claiming you will be extradited. However, you will find zero actual stories of this occurring -- or at least I didn't find any.
I'm sure extradition can happen if the amount is large enough. If a guy takes out a $6 million marker and skips on it, then yes, a state would probably ship him back.
If it's over a matter of like $10k, they probably won't.
They are more likely to extradite you if you are arrested for something else in your home state, especially a felony or serious misdemeanor.
However, in most cases you just get contacted by first the casino demanding payment, and then eventually a Nevada district attorney, who will threaten to charge you with a crime (or in some cases, will have already charged you). Then if you no-show to court, you typically get convicted or a failure-to-appear on your record.
None of this is good, and it can affect your career or future employment in some cases.
However, I have never heard of a state picking someone up for a $10,000 debt and shipping them back to Nevada.
Here is a 2011 article about how Nevada has become softer on collecting debts for casinos, in general:
