In Response To: Mikonh SafeJack COTD..... ()

Gotta be a sample, I believe the Bally's is the only one I've seen that was ever used in a casino. Mikohn always seems to have some sort of gimmic going. grin I'm cutting and pasting the eBay blurb from the '99 auction I bought this chip from. Any other info please!

"Mikohn SAFEJACK Casino Chip used at BALLY'S L.V.
"The big chip with a little chip inside" - a computer chip that is! Used on only three tables in 1996 at Las Vegas' Bally's as an experiment (beta test), the table was rigged with lights and a shoe that registered the card as it came out of the shoe. Your chips were counted and your bet recorded. And a red light came on telling you, you had just busted, even before the card out of the shoe got fipped over. Because the chips were expensive, you couldn't walk with the chips but had to cash them in at the table for regular house chips. But as I pointed out the flying pigeon overhead to everyone at the table, I pocketed one $5 chip for me and an extra for you.
P.S. Big Brother Blackjack was a flop, and the game removed."
