So, did he try to cash them in 2 hours later?

"Gaming Board agents traced Ateyat to his Chicago Ridge home".
Not the police. Wonder how they found him.

Did he post a classified ad here?

$14,000 or 6 racks of fracs…….lol

Was the getaway vehicle a Penske truck by chance?

$14,000 or 6 racks of fracs…….lol

Imagine getting home with the birdcage and realizing how small the haul is. Though assuming is a cage of 1000, $14 per chip? Dunno how many chips in a casino cage.

I wonder if he'll take a trade.

I'm guessing casino quality.

They're not horrible. Pausons on a house mold. They do have quarters.

Lol...
I was playing 20/40 @ the Bellagio in 2019 when the poker cage was robbed and the Robber was later gunned down in the valet area by the cops.

Google, it. .... the video is out there

Good caper - 1 officer was shot, luckily in the vest. Suspect was a repeat customer, robbed the Bellagio in 2017 too.

Yea, this guy was a real piece of work....

It was interesting because we were playing cards not 30 ft from where the robbery occurred & we didn't even know it happened until security came around asking if we had seen anything.

We were not allowed to leave for at least a couple hours and then once we finally did, we had to color up at this temporary cage and cash out at one of the main casino cashiers.

RFID in the chips! Lol
Wouldn't that be hilarious...

Way cool. Wouldn't even have to put them in all chips.
Um, would impact harvesters?
