The World Game Protection CEO posted a fascinating article: It's Time To Get Rid of Chips!, money quote:
Back in 2000 I started to question why we use chips. The casino I worked in got whacked with a counterfeit chips scam that cost us over $400,000. I began to think about the trouble they brought to casinos. Quite frankly as a game protection guy, chips have always caused a lot of problems. Over the last 5 years I feel the case to digitize table games has gotten stronger. We are in a digital world that has seen businesses become more successful through getting the right information quickly and efficiently. In some markets table games is stagnant. I believe going digital could benefit the way we manage table games. It could even revive them.
It strikes me that security would be better but not sure how the experience would be for the players and why they would go to a casino for such a digital experience, though not a gambler.
What do you think?
