Since the Bellagio accepted the stolen chips, I assume they do not have any RFID in their chips. However, they may well have RFID and they accepted the chips to try to snare the stupid Corleo robber. Finally, what kind of idiot doesn't think he would be rather obvious walking through the Bellagio in a motorcycle suit plus full helmet...duhhhmmmmmbbb!
Anyway...the report was a good read. I think I should have been a law enforcement officer as I love trying to figure it all out. Must be why I love poker--analyzing how to win at poker!

the high denim chips do have RFID, but as with most RFID it isn't as capable as gps. Point being they can only scan like a bar code on a credit card to determine authenticity. Maybe even determine if the chip is lost in circulation and not checked out by the cage.. But the secondary market for them limits any positive ID of stolen chips.. Hence the interviews for unrecognized players cashing in cranberries (see salvation army guy).
The suspect told me that baking them in a microwave kills the RFID tag and renders the chip "unknown" to the casino. Not sure if accurate but it makes sense to me.
The suspect told me he broke open a chip and found a copper wire, or something of the like.
