Lone Eagle Posted December 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2010 :wow:LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas police are looking for an armed casino bandit who escaped on a motorcycle with perhaps $2 million worth of gambling chips from the posh Bellagio hotel-casino. Police Lt. Clinton Nichols told The Associated Press the robbery happened quickly. He says the bandit wore a full-face motorcycle helmet as he displayed a gun in a casino pit area then demanded chips and sped away on Flamingo Road on a black sport-style motorcycle. Detectives are reviewing video and camera images of the robbery that occurred just before 4 a.m. Tuesday at the Las Vegas Strip resort. No shots were fired and no one was injured. My question now would be - how the heck do you get ride of those chips - the person must have a lot of friends - LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skydoc_17 Posted December 14, 2010 Share #4 Posted December 14, 2010 The Larger Casino's keep up to 5 "chip sets" on hand just for this reason. They will "Retire" that chip set, and it will be replaced with another design. A new chip set runs about $40,000.00 but that is small beans compared to 2 million. Basically, all the thief got was a Hellofa' POG collection! Ya' can't fix stupid! Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
