Maybe that is the future: Bourgogne et Grasset, europe's leading gaming supplies manufacturer, has developed the so called "Safechip". This gaming chip contains a small microchip which is readable at all cashier desks and table games. The casino can track the way of each chip with their system and when you put your chips on the cashier desk, they have already calculated the total. Further they get noticed if a dealer pays out to much because the table sensors will notice that! But here it comes: B.G. offers magnetic gates like you know from the airport security and if you try to leave the casino with some Safechips in your pocket, the alarm will sound! Well, heaven for security and surveillance but hell for collectors?!? Greetings from George Orwell?!?
