    Gonna take a long time to launder this, lolz. Chips have tracking devices...gonna have to buy in to blackjack or craps with like 5-10k at a time and play a tad and cash out and get cash...maybe do it once every other week or so. Cashing a cranberry ( 25k) would be almost impossible.

    I would think most modern casinos would have RFID chips in their high value chips, making these useless.

    So the chips aren't legal tender so they only stole whatever those chips cost, right?

    You could prob head up to the Commerce and play 10-20nl for a couple days, and swap a bunch with players. Or get yourself wrapped up in the live HSMTT circuit, they spend like cash with that crew.

    not chips 5k and above... you can't cash them without the source being verified

    this guy won't get much out of this, and will very likely get caught...

    these are both very plausible, but I doubt the person that did this is connected to the poker world at all... just some random degen off the street most likely

    He would probably get greedy and attempt to do this in a quick time period.

    His only shot here is doing this over a very long stretch. Most criminals arent smart tho...

    I was refering to the small chips obv. Hes not gonna be able to walk up to the cashier, pull 30K in chips out his pocket and not have anyone say anything.

    Anyone who steals chips is a fuckin retard.

    You risk 20 years for something you can't turnover.

    Should have just robbed a bank.

    I thought most people knew that when cashing 5k or more the cage calls the pit to verify.

    Hell in local casinos it's over 1k.

    You can easily do it...just go to Aria, Mirage, etc etc...buy in for 5k, play a few hands, color up, cash out. Not that hard, but I wouldn't attempt more than 5k every 2 weeks or so. But most people are retarded and I', sure he will get busted
