Something doesn't sound right about that story? I would think casinos have better security than that. And I have been in a few.....
I like this one: Back in the old days when surveillance cameras weren't as sophisticated, the house relied much more on pit bosses for game securities. To avoid collusion, black jack (all dealers really) are rotated every 20-30 mins. One dealer was suspected of stealing by palming chips and would pop it in his/her mouth right before being pushed for break. Keep in mind that this was back when chips weren't so sophisticated either. Anyhow, they wanted to catch him red-handed, so they intentionally skipped over him for his break. So after a few minutes with the chip in his mouth, he started drooling with the dye of the chip mixed with his saliva.
which story are you talking about?
Pertaining to what I had posted. If you watch the surveillance footage, he WAS being tracked by a controlled camera (it followed and zoomed out), versus a static one that is in a fixed position. They knew exactly where he was at and what direction he was heading.
So what about this then, what would stop him from coming in and going to a table and giving them the $25,000 chip and having them cash it into $1,000 or $5,000 chips. Play some then walk away with his winning or left overs.
That $25,000 chip would then be back in inventory and not caught until he was long gone out of there.

When I was working in New Orleans, we had a couple of new cocktail waitresses that didn't know how the non-denomination chips of the roulette wheel worked. Normal chip colors are $1 (white), $5 (red), $25 (green) etc.
But in roulette, they are non-value different chips so that they can be designated to whatever the players want them as. Anyhow, if the waitress is tipped with the roulette chip, they are suppose to cash them in with the dealer right away so that the dealer can give them the right amount of value chips. A player was using the green roulette chip at $5 each. He would tip the girl, but she thought she was getting $25 and wanted to show off to her co-workers so she didn't cash them in right away for $5. Anyhow, he left and some other player began using the same green roulette chips at $1. She ended up only getting 1/5 of what she was suppose to get.

A chip that big would have had to have been logged as to who had possession of it in a regular scenario. For instance, if you legitimately had won it from the table I was watching, when you got up, I would have to log it in and call surveillance and cage as to your description. Not to mention the CTR & CTL & MTL........cash transaction report, cash transaction log, Monetary transaction log.........and whatever the hell else the house wants you to fill out.
When and if ever I was tipped $100 or more, in order to cash it out, I had to show my badge and they would call surveillance to log and possibly run the tape back to make sure I didn't steal it.
Just think of the smaller chips as being a rifle and the bigger chips as a handgun. Nowadays, they know where it is and who has possession of it. 
Oh I see, well then that does explain the backside we dont see. I figured that once he got away and handed them ot his buddies or hookers and told them to change them out that he would eventually walk away rich.
but alas in Vegas there is a different kind of law, once that I would not want to mess with and that is the casino law...lol

Here's a weird one:
So I've been told that by Homeland Security Laws, a person is technically NOT allowed to have more than $3K cash on them at any one time.
A poker player from Florida told me he was detained at the airport because he had a huge amount of cash on him to pay for his entry into a big poker tournament.
Anyone know the specifics on this law?
