It was a big heist indeed.
But they took chips, so they would have to dump them some how afterwards.
Not that they reached that part. They might still have the chips.
Long article kept reading to see how much was in total in USD, no luck Smile
Had to google it to find out it was 6 millions USD Smile

these casino chips have not been exchanged for cash. Chances are very small for someone to take advantage of the chips. The value of 48 millions dollars will do the security services to look carefully. Each player who will earn money and will come back to withdraw will be investigated, if the police do not recover all chips.

As stated there are too many laundering money through the casino's,
so who knows what exactly the story here was.
It was too risky and foolish to steal all these chips.
Since the firm is using the same chips everywhere, they may cash out the chips in some other country Smile

Steve Wynn stepped down as Republican National Committee finance chair in late January, and earlier this month he resigned from Wynn Resorts. Then this incident happened in Macau. It seems to be an opportunistic attack.

well this is actually quite stupid, if you steal 48 millions worth of chips, no matter what are those so called techniques to get the chips back into the system and obtain financial gain you will get busted, too much money involved, casino ca just change their chips and you are left with a bag of plastic for your home game
