ok "Lt. Clint Nichols said the chips will be difficult to exchange for money because of industry safeguards, which he could not disclose."

25k chips probably have RFID but also how you gonna walk into bellagio and cash 25k chips without having played at the tables.......more likely this guy'll start paying for hookers with the chips...

I think Moose is paying for the chip set.

Apparently, this is the second time recently a casino has been robbed in such a way in the last little while. You would think after the first time, they would put in measures to ensure it didnt' happen again.

Oh well...at least their secondaries will be put into play

Never mind that, what kind of "security" lets a guy walk around with a helmet on inside a casino?

And the RFID chip probablt doubles as a serial # if the chips are equipped with such.

I'm guessing with RFID technology where it is now, there is no reason to even bother trying to stop thieves in these kind of situations anymore. Just hurry them along and get them the hell out of the casino asap.

This is the crazy part imo.

According to Global news. Some of the chips have a micro transmitter which may end up being the "RETARDS" downfall.
