In most states, casinos are strictly regulated by law WRT how much they keep---and how much is given back to gamblers.

Casinos gladly comply w/ all L/E directives---b/c they value their licenses which are easily lifted if they screw-up.

FOR EXAMPLE---Most casinos will not accept wire-transfers of monies from gamblers in govt locations----since they feel the monies are a result of stealing.

However, it is conjectured money-laundering takes place---when large amounts of untraceable chips are bought---but not cashed in. The purchase can be listed on tax returns as a loss. (The chips can be cashed in casinos worldwide.)

With all due respect, I’m not sure that is correct.

Whichever casino issues the chips, is the casino that accepts them back. Were I to take chips from MGM and head over to Ceaser’s, they would not accept those chips.

Just curious what you meant by that statement.
