Hmm....hadn't thought about all of that. Although most of the time the dealers know that I'm swiping a few of the chips when I do, mainly because most of them know me and I usually try to swipe the ones they have extras of sitting off to the side. I also make SURE to toke (tip) the dealers when they know what I'm doing. Besides, even if they don't know what I'm doing, it's always easier to palm a couple of chips and drop them in my pocket when the dealer is coloring up their tip <vbg>. Most of the dealers around here are pretty easy-going and I have not had a problem yet (knock on wood). Thanks for the info though, like I said, I hadn't even taken that into account.

Thanks,
