    Power goes out @ MGM

    Power outage at MGM for about 1 min. I heard everyone with money in machines lost their balance.

    Also nov 21 1980 was the great MGM fire. Coincidence I think not

    Update: they refunded the money quickly. So not shady or a scandal

    Are you a chip collector or are these googled pictures? I often wonder why people don’t counterfeit low Denomination chips. If guys can print money it seems like making chips would be relatively easy.

    I remember seeing a doc years ago that talked about making chips, and its just not profitable to make small denominations, because its hard to get a chip that looks, feels, weighs, and has the shit like markings visible under blacklight on them for under the price of the chip. What people instead did was take low denomination chips, strip them so to speak, and turn them into higher denomination chips.

    I could definitely see that, I mean chips seem so simple I can’t believe chips are that hard to copy.

    I'm a chip collector. Both of these MGM chips are from my collection of about 4,000 $1 casino chips.
