RB:

RFID in chips is a good thing, nothing to be fearful of. This will allow casinos to track players better, which means things such as:

1) Comp systems may change to favor players who move lots of chips
2) Theft reduction
3) It will be nearly impossible to remove chips from a casino
4) Dealers will be tracked with great precision. Every chip removed or plced into the chip tray will be tracked, as well as tokes. This saves on a HUGE amount of support staff,and therefore savings which can be passed on to the customer (in theory of course)
5) Counterfitting will be nearly impossible

But don't worry, RFID includes a security system that hasn't been cracked (yet). There is currently no way for someone to use an RFID scanner to determine how many chips you have in our pocket unless they use machines provided by/for the casino.

In short, RFID chips are a good thing. The only bad thing is the chips look and feel like the Borgata Chips, and they suck.

5) There is even an application for NL & Pot Limit games. If a scanner is embedded under the table, any chips placed in the pot can be instantly counted and displayed on a screen. This will eventually make NL games much faster, which means a greater # of hands per hour.
