IANAM. Hypothetically, I gather that they have a database of 'activated' chips. If it goes through door, it's logged (similar how there's beepers at a shop if you accidentally didn't pay for something). When a large amount of chips leave within 30 seconds, the casion owners went to the database and marked the chips as 'stolen'. If the person claims it wasn't stolen, the casino has cameras to follow up.
If a chip was later used in the casino, the teller would swipe it to read from database. Ideally, it would raise a flag and be refused to be exchanged for money (stolen goods).
- AndyJPartridge 16y agoThanks for the reply. I looked this up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_reading "Bulk reading is a means for orienting in conduct of logistics processes, but caused by a higher quote of reading failures, not suitable for inventory management." So I am still unsure how they could, as the PR is stating, 'turn off' a selection of chips reliably. I guess it's a mute point as the Bellagio swapped out all chips, and therefore the RFID inside any/all.
