dna4ever 2 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 "Nichols said the man took chips from $25,000 to $100 in value. He said the chips will be difficult to exchange for money because of industry safeguards, which he could not disclose."I wonder what those industry safeguards are? Link to post Share on other sites

He said the chips will be difficult to exchange for money because of industry safeguards, which he could not disclose."I wonder what those industry safeguards are?I've heard that whores will take chips as payment. Maybe it was just a pro poker player who couldn't get any backing so now he can sneak back into Bobby's room and start to spread the chips around, thereby getting clean chips in the exchange. But if he needed to go to those lengths then he probably isn't a winning player and therefore it would not be a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites

KingJames 11 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I have been told that within hours of a robbery, a casino can switch out all of the chips on the casino floor for a new set.So than patrons would all cash their chips in. Ppl who have chips in a boxes or with them etc can turn the chips in later and I don't know how the casinos handle that... so the robber may be able to get some of the chips redeemed.edit: apparently they also have rfid strips in some of the chips so they can potentially track them...

ajs510 122 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 edit: apparently they also have rfid strips in some of the chips so they can potentially track them...This was the first thing I thought of...the casinos would be idiotic not to have some type of identification system for the highest value chips. The issue they're going to run into with this, I'm guessing, is that high-value Bellagio chips are considered to be as good as cash in the Vegas gambling community, people will take them as debt payment, purchase of goods, etc, so I'm betting you're going to see some false-positives as people who aren't the thief start trying to cash these chips in.

myenemy 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Im not saying they dont have RFID but you have to know that the cops and casinos are going to say "He wont be able to cash them anywhere." to deter copycats. My point is, there may be some chance that someone could walk right up to the cage in a few months and cash them out. Link to post Share on other sites
