(Most counterfeiting involves lower-denomination chips: The most common way to counterfeit a chip is to repaint a $1 piece to look like, say, a $100 piece.) RFIDs also serve as individualized bar codes to keep track of every chip. With the right technology, the Bellagio can figure out exactly which chips were stolen. And if anyone tried to cash them, he’d get nabbed.
