HI guys i did a mistake yesterday i tryed to get 2.15 ltc from a casino website so i cashed it out but i copy past my btc wallet the status of the transaction is unspent can i recover it

Can you mention which exchange/wallet you use to receive the coin?

There's two way to do :
1. Contact the exchange you has been send the coin to solve it, but it's very low chance they will take a look of your case. Most exchanges often mentioned they didn't able to recover coin from sending to wrong address.
2. If the wallet you send has a private key, you could import it to Litecoin wallet.

AFAIK unspent mean the transaction hasn't been used yet, but it already confirmed.

What BTC wallet are you using? I'm really not 100% sure how Litecoin wallets work(because I never had one), but if you have access to your Bitcoin wallet's 12-24 word recovery seed, you can try importing it to a reputable Litecoin wallet.

You cant get some ideas for some solution with these links.

It is similar situation as yours.

Most probably this won't work because altcoin wallets use different derivation paths even if they use the same mnemonic. In fact there is a bunch of SLIPs (https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md) about it.

The only way to solve this is to first figure out which type of address was used (ie. what the redeem script of the P2SH address was) then import the private key(s) of that address to an LTC wallet (such as Electrum-ltc) and select the same type there too.
