I am one of those blackjack AP that keeps and plays with a chip inventory for most of my Las Vegas Rotation, which numbers over 30 casinos. Some of the smaller places that I only play a couple times a months, I don't keep a chip inventory, but for about 2/3 of my rotation I do. When I made the decision to cease playing almost 2 weeks ago, the first thing I did was spend a day and a half cashing in not all but most of my chip inventory. I am still sitting on some chips but not a lot.

The reason was less about having more cash, but more about a worse case scenario. At that time, I saw a strong possibly that the casinos would be forced to shut down for a period and they may need to replace all chips when they are able to reopen, being that chips are highly contagious. If that were to happen they have to be able to allow players to cash in the old chips, but that is the point I though having thousands and thousands of chips (at numerous casinos) might raise suspicion. I mean regular players aren't sitting on thousands of dollars in casino chips. That is kind of an AP thing, because the benefit is great for AP as far as entering and exiting games quickly and avoiding the cage cash out.
