Why are casino chips valuable?

603 views

I get they’re not easy to reproduce but isn’t it easier to counterfeit chips than money? How would someone that steals chips use them if they’re only valid in the casino they came from?

Their value is what the casino says it is, and a casino’s chips are only good at the casino that minted them.

Casino chips have a variety of security methods to defeat counterfeiting- UV markings, RFID technology, and elaborate designs to discourage or frustrate any attempt to counterfeit them. On top of that, casinos are insanely surveilled, which would make passing the chips on the floor almost as difficult as counterfeiting them in the first place.
