That's what I was thinking. If you had a high-roller to cash the chips, it would work.

Not that many chips though. The casinos have records of what chips their high rollers have. Someone who has the $ to be playing big enough to be able to slip a million bucks in bogus chips on their stack will want no part of this kind of thing. Even if they did the casino knows exactly what the guy bought in for, and how much he won/lost.

You could possibly reverse rathole.

If the chips are RFID, the store could determine that the high roller never had the stolen chips there. If he tries to cash one, busted.

I don't know how he got out of there so fast. His huge balls must have been dragging on the ground I would think that would slow him down some.

No you can't. First off the chips are different now. Even if they weren't the casino knows what the high roller bought in with, and how many chips are at the table. If the accounting at the end doesn't add up they're going to have to figure out why. Especially now that they're looking for the stolen chips

I thought the Bellagio was on of the joints with RFD chips? Just goes to show you how lax security really is when the chips are down.:laugh:

I don't think so. Last time I was in there they were using the same chips they had when they opened.

Honestly, the guy would've been better off stealing 50 grand in black and purple. Then it might not be worth the effort of changing the chips to the B. And purple are easily cashable at a place like B as long as you're not dumb enough to try and cash out all of them at once

The entire heist took 3 minutes. He had a gun, which prompted security to give him free passage, unless a patron or employee were in danger, in which case a confrontation would have occurred. Chips ranged from $5K to $25K. Only a big player with access to those denominations could attempt to cash such chips. And few know for sure what safety measures may have already been in place. Safety measures may not be limited to RFID alone. For example, an exchange of all chips from $5K to $25K for slightly different chips in those same denominations would not be that hard to implement, especially if they had them already waiting in storage. Likewise, marking current chips in those denominations electronically or physically would not be that difficult. Just how many $25K chips do you think the Bellagio has? Only an individual with inside information would dare attempt to cash in the stolen chips, if in fact, a loophole exists.

A $10 / hour cage employee has plenty of incentive to cash stolen chips. I would say even with inside information it'd still be tough to cash them

Robbery is fodder for conspiracy theorists:

Casino management skims $1.5 million right under regulators' noses

Casino $10 an hour employees pull biggest casino heist in history

Mob-paid assassin goes for the chips instead of the hit

High limit craps dealer executes elaborate plan to cover up $1 million theft

What's you theory?
