~~~ to cash in a chip you are unsure of without asking questions, first; and follow instructions, exactly, in whatever the cage requests of you...

Good advice...

Regarding the painted-on inserts and what all was entailed in the whole manufacture process and why; I do not understand how they passed (or approved) by the gaming commission which, I would think in allowing such a device on the floor would leave.the door wide open for any would-be counterfeiters once such tolerance was common place.

["But, your honor; those painted-on inserts weren't my chips. Plenty of Atlantic City casinos were approved to use them."]

Sounds like a risky move and I have no idea why gaming approve them; if they did.
