So they don't have RFID's in their 500's?!? That in itself is crazy.

You can never underestimate stupidity
I shed not one tear for the Aria. I'm actually right across the street at the moment.
Now that this has happened, I imagine the Eye of Sauron is now looking at PCF even more than before.
What are they gonna do? Send c&d letter to Tina? Ban poker chips?

Easiest solution is to hire more keen employees. Then a better RFID system if they don't have one yet for $500. I don't think the replication is close enough to warrant that much trouble. It seems like an internal issue that could have prevented this.
They probably shouldn't have said anything to see if the person comes back to strike again. I guess they really don't have to bc not many play with $500 chips? Which leads to me believe it was an inside job, news from a shiller, or Tina hired someone to make a bold publicity stunt hahaha
.Then again even TSA has some dozing off employees I guess? Not sure how someone misses something like that so I'm leaning towards an inside job. That would explain why the RFID didn't work if they have them for $500s. I guess an accomplice as each RFID has a unique ID?
Then again it could all be a mistake by employee.
Can't imagine Vegas wanting to continue to switch to ceramics/plastics. Guess they will put RFID readers on the actual tables so people can't mix the in? There will be tech that could not set off RFID alerts if not already in this case?

I'm sure they know how and when the chip came in. They probably have video too.
This chip is like prop money -- intentionally not an exact fake.

Travis, probably not a smart idea to let Aria and the world know you know where they came from. We don’t need PCF getting “canceled”.

Recognize the avy, forget who though. What an odd thing to post, just fishing for attention on Twitter.
I would not be surprised to see PCF start banning photos of tributes here. This will draw more attention to the forum. This might be a dark day for chipping based on how this will play out.
If chips are no longer safe electronic payments in casino will take over. Normal gamblers don’t care about chips.

Vegas isn’t going to change anything they are doing over a $500 loss.

congrats to everyone who had under 12 hours in the pool
I had a fantasy football draft last night.
Probably not that dramatic. And not a whole lot different than when some moron degenerate cashed an ACB $500 at the Borgata.
If Aria catches wind of the PCF connection, their lawyers will reach out to anyone they can connect with the chip (members, admins, manufacturer) with C&D letters and demands to have all of the chips destroyed.

I would imagine someone slipping these into a table game vs trying to cash them out at the cage
The amount 500$ loss is not the issue. The issue is that the chip sets can be compromised quite easily and now the Casinos are aware of that.
Training and better employees are expensive, card payment cards and virtual currencies might be the future here sadly.
Maybe I’m full of drama but Security is the nr1 concern in Casinos

Reminds me of many years back, was downtown Vegas, got talked into grabbing a beer at a strip club/bar. Bought a round for everyone (in my group - not the whole place), hostess comes back with a wad of change - but with the black lights, the one large bill placed in with the other bills glowed. She kept trying to 'give me my change', I put my hands behind my back and refused to accept it, and called her out on the counterfeit bill in the stack. Hostess acted 'stupid' when I explained I wasn't accepting any counterfeit money - she kept pushing. I had to start to get loud and threaten to call over the metro cops that happened to be about 20 feet from the door. Immediately got money that wasn't funny. Couldn't believe they'd try to pull that crap when it was so obvious. Hookers/strippers are all about the $$$, and they can smell a counterfeit bill a mile away, and I guess they figured I was an idiot. Which - I may be at times - but not at this moment.
No way this chip normally would have been accepted - fluke, mixed in a rack, or 'friend of friend of cage employee' who wanted to see if it would work. Can't see it working on a table game, as the chip is out there long enough and enough eyes on it that it would have gotten caught right away. Everything's on the table (even color down/up) so the 'eye in the sky' can also see stuff

Probably not "if" as all it takes is an "Aria's chips" google search to lead someone straight here, though once they arrive it will be easy for them to see that measures had already been taken.
I will say that this event has caused me to put more thought towards my own stance on replicas of live chips. I believed there was no chance one of these chips would be passed off until I saw this post.

My samples say tournament and no cash value which is defensible as a tribute. Was there another round where they got closer to the casino version? The colors/spot patterns/general inlay feel is close enough no need to veer on the edge of counterfeit territory.
