Gene, If you read my note to Greg I said that your comment was not "tongue in cheek" & that people have been fired for lesser offenses. I don't doubt what you say, & I would never want to place someone's job in danger for walking with a few chips. I really don't want to open a big can of worms again, but how do casinos count their roulette chips & how do they know how many may be missing? Don't they all have a back up rack? Aren't they alerted when Greg S. & John Z. come into town? You may have answered these question during the "Roulette Wars" but I slept through it all. Could you take a few minutes from your busy schedule to respond.
