I can see the headline now "unidentifiable man wearing a helmet and black jumpsuit found dead in a dumpster behind a Casino in Vegas".....

Chips aren't money. Wait till he tries to cash them in.

Probably try and sell them. Though chips seem like something Bellagio could track easily and find out which ones are missing and therefore "void"

Who knows, but I know I'd have something like that in place were I running a casino

After something like this they switch to a backup set of chips. This guy would have to be able to cash these chips in before that switch was done and everyone else inside the casino has been paid out or had their chips changed.

He might be the same guy that robbed the Sun Coast Casino (not on the strip) as well. Same technique; helmet Only took ~20k there.

They said the chips are Microchipped, and voided already. Plus they already have high security when trying to cash out big chips like the ones he took $100-$25k each. His getaway vid in the Belagio makes me laugh.

i am sure they have already changed all the chips over which means he stole chips and wont be able to cash them in and if he does he will get caught pretty dumb if you ask me

The chips have RFID tags inside them and were worthless once he left the casino.

The casino will notice anybody trying to cash in large value chips because they already know the big spenders in the house. There's not a chance in hell he'll actually get any of the money.

I wonder if cashing in $500 of chips every day for 10 years would fly under the radar
