Re: Keeping Chips from Casinos

Funny story on this note. A guy that ran a now defunct NYC poker room thought it would be nice to have some large unit Borgata chips on hand. This way if someone who was an AC player cashed in a big win they didn't have to walk out with a giant wad of cash. This would be expecially helpful at the end of the night when the drawer was short on $100 bills and you were giving a guy $3000 in $20's.
So he gives a friend who was going to Borgata $20,000 and asks him to bring some chips back. The guy buys 8 racks of green chips and stuffs them in a bag. It was quite the priceless moment when he was holding a bag of 800 quarters asking his friend what the hell he thought he was going to do with them.

Maybe I'm just a little slow, but I don't really understand what happened in this story. Where did the quarters come from? I'm a little lost lol.

The friend did convert the cash to Borg chips as promised, but he changed it into all $25 chips. This did not serve the room managers purpose of providing high limit players a small chip representing a large number instead of bulky cash. In fact, paying people $3000 in $25 chips is probably much less convenient than paying them in $20 bills, and it goes without saying that the best situation would be being able to pay them with three $1000 chips.. which is what the manager had in mind
