Money is exchanged for poker chips or token coins at a cashier station, at gaming tables, or at a slot machine. Neither casino tokens or poker chips have any value outside of the casino.Q: What is RFID and how is used in poker chips?
A: RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. RFID is an automatic identification method. An RFID tag is small enough that it can be incorporated into a poker chip. Major casinos may very likely have RFID tags in their poker chips. Because of these tags, it is much harder for an outside person to counterfeit the casino’s poker chips. The casino would easily be able to recognize poker chips that do not have RFID tags.
