Protecting Your Chips

In some of the high limit areas they have a clear plexiglass box that can be placed on a chipstack. This might not stop someone from racking you up, but it would stop the loose chip or two thief.

I use the clear boxes at my 1/2 tables if I'm going to get something to eat or take more than a bathroom break. They write the time I left on the box to make sure I'm not gone too long (maybe a 1 hour limit?). They do take the time rake regardless, but the dealers do that. I'm always friendly with the table/dealers, too.

It probably helps that I'm one of the few female players, so if a man sat down, it would be sketchy. Most of the dealers know my boyfriend, too.

I assumed all casinos had the clear boxes?

I have never seen one of these at Foxwoods or in Vegas at any 1/2 or 2/5 NL game. Maybe for mid-high limit NL and LHE?

Many casinos don't take responsibility for the players chips, including mine. Players will leave them there, and I'll look after them of course, but officially our casino wants no part of it.
