Default Re: Question About Chip Mess Situation

[ QUOTE ]
If we're talking $20, casino either ponies up 4 $5 chips to make the customers happy (small price to pay), asks surveillance if they can see the exact stack sizes pre-fight, writes a comp or two in lieu of the $20, or just says "not our problem" and ticks off a customer or three.

About a year ago I'm in the nine seat (next to the dealer in LA) and the super action player who was sort of semi-psycho donkey is on my right and has about eleven racks of $5 ($5500 or so) stacked up one on top of each other emulating a giant penis shaped mess. Meanwhile I have about $1500 neatly arranged in 20 chip stacks in the shape of let's say for the sake of the story "a neatly trimmed vagina". The game is getting short and I'm still hoping to double through this guy and hate to leave even though I have to take a piss real bad. Finally I can't hold it any more and go to the men's room. As I come back the game has broken and his chips are in a giant pile covering all my chips which are now in a quivering mess of protoplasmic disarray.

The point is the security cameras couldn't tell how high my stacks were so we had to figure things out on our own. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
