Gunman gets away with $1.5 in chips from craps table:

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/dec/14/police-robbery-bellagio/

How can he cash them? Go in 6 months from now with a couple thousand, play and then cash out? Then do this every day for the next 750 day?

You have to wonder why he didn't just go for the lesser denominations that would have been easier to cash in. How much trouble would he have redeeming $100 & $500 chips instead of $25,000 chips?

Probably wasn't a smart criminal and clearly doesn't read this site. Or even watch crime movies. Criminals think of the "crime of the century" by stealing the world's biggest diamond which was on display at Mandalay Bay. Then after they pull off the heist they realize they need to do more than drive down to "Gold and Silver Pawn" to turn it into cash.

What is worth more--a $25K plaque you cannot cash in or 10 "blacks" that you can? The former is useful only as a mug coaster.

You know, the title of this thread makes it sound like the thread starter is looking for advice on how to handle the $1.5 million dollars in chips he stole.

Which is hilarious.

NOT ME!! Last thing I want to do is get locked up with a bunch of losers!

We had a guy this summer at a casino in Niagara Falls Canada (I live in NY) run off with about $10,000 in chips. He tried to cash in the next day at the other casino in Niagara Falls Canada! Needless to say, he is now locked up with other losers.

This and the other sister thread have inspired the next story in my "Foolproof" series. I should have it up here in the next day or two.

"A FOOLPROOF METHOD FOR ROBBING A CASINO."

Here's the link for the first story if you haven't read it yet.

Yoyo, how did he get caught? Did he try to cash the whole lot at once? Were the chips manufactured with RFID tags?

The same thing happened at Mohegan Sun in Ct. The State Police were waiting for the guy at his house. He was seen on a couple of dozen cameras, license plate and all.

There wasn't much detail. The casinos keep it pretty quiet and don't care for any bad publicity. He was playing BJ, and grabbed a bunch of black chips and ran. Must have had him on video. Just heard this from a couple dealers I know.

This redefines worthless for sure! Oh well. Guess the thief could sell it on Ebay as a souvenir.
