How do they track individual chips?

RFID technology, players card. Serial # on high denoms, but a 1k wouldn’t be hard to cash imho

I thought that might be the case but it got me thinking do they know exactly who takes what chips over a certain denom size.
Like how do they know who has what serial number to mark it as “missing or stolen”?
I once watched Dnegs have a draw with random chips and one being a $5k Aria flag, would that chip get marked as missing? Therefore can no longer be cashed?

Cash it in? Why on earth would someone on THIS site even consider cashing that in ?!?!

I cashed a $500 chip at the Orleans last week.
They asked where it came from and I said ‘the craps tables’.
They called the pit to confirm.
All that for a $500 chip.

Now imagine trying to cash a random 1K chip at a core Vegas strip casino that was the victim of the biggest robbery in modern LV history.

google bellagio motorcycle robbery. the guy wore his helmet and got away with 1.5m in chips

There was a Venetians $5k chip on eBay a few months back and I put in my cart to see what “offer” they’d send me. $2,500 was the offer, so higher denoms are useless once they leave the premises?

Yep exactly.

This sale would only benefit someone looking to buy this to keep and display.

There was also the story of the guy that sold his car for X number of Resorts World LV chips. He went and tried cashing them in and of course ran into the issue of doing so.

Most people don’t know this stuff with high denoms.

@kmccormick100 didn’t you score a $1k LV on eBay for like $300 and was able cash it no problem?

I do know different properties have different ways of operation. Some would probably ask for ID and such, others probably wouldn’t care. Just depends

 

[Colquhoun]

When you think about it, this $1,000 chip will definitely be worth more than $500, especially when the design is retired or the Bellagio closes/rebrands.
I wonder what a 1998 Bellagio $1,000 chip would go for now...I'm guessing quite a bit over face value, as there are probably only a few out there.

Off to the side but @betmorewinmore would probably know better. These are both cancelled.

 

[doublebooyah85]

I’d buy one if it wasn’t cancelled. But being cancelled I don’t see or understand the value.

 

[djmarc]

Yes, no way I would pay those prices for a cancelled chip, but I wouldn't buy any cancelled chips at any price.

Singles collectors are wild. Whole other world. $3800 for a warped chip sealed in glass or whatever that is. No thanks!

True- if you play poker at Bellagio regularly and color up when leaving, you could cash that without much trouble at all.

I can’t tell if it’s $3800 or $38 but it’s sealed in acrylic.

I had one a while back that was in a square lucite and it had the same $100 Ringmaster in it.

We were discussing that Circus Circus $100, but that Bellagio $1k is v hot. I love that old inlay.

I laughed at these prices but got curious on that Pioneer Club. Better go back and grab it.
