For you table game players, some interesting news.
Found this out at a hair salon...who knew! Lol
I was getting my hair done this morning and I overheard the gentleman next to me talking with his stylist, and I realized that he worked at Rincon. So I struck up a conversation with him. He is a craps dealer there. He mentioned that they were doing a lot of work beneath the table games, beneath the concrete. I had noticed some extensive work last time I was there.
He said that they are putting electronic chips into the gaming chips and all of the associated electronics beneath the flooring. The purpose of the "chipped chips" is to keep track of player's bets for Total Rewards points and amount of play given. The plan is to try it out on blackjack only right now.
I commented that it seemed like an awful big project for that purpose and he said that it would take a lot of pressure off of the managers/floormen (I dont know the correct titles) and that it would also hopefully be more of an incentive for players.
I don't know the details on how the chips will be connected to a specific player, etc. I didn't have time to get into those details (I had to get shampooed and rinsed).
