My favorite story from that is in the book 21 was based on...the casino swapped out all high-dollar chips after the riots

so the brainiacs had to get millions of dollars in chips swapped via any means becuase no one would accept that much money from people who were robbing them basically.

hookers being entrusted with 100k in chips and hoping they got it back.
