Re: Interesting program for token collectors TV

Interesting show. I might add that the guy spent over $100,000 to make those fake tokens.

At the end they said, the casinos don't know how many of his fake tokens are still in play because they are so hard to detect.

While I agree that the guy was wrong and a crook, I find his lack of something to keep him busy after retirement as something that drove him to do this. And of course then there's greed.

I won't give away the ending (we know he got caught) but it was as suspected. Now the casinos have new proceedures for catching this before it goes too far.

I got a slug in change from the Keno cashier at IP in Las Vegas. When I pointed it out, the place was full of security people in minutes. (maybe quicker?) All that over a lousy buck token, and it was a poor quality slug at that.

Imagine how the casinos felt about $10 counterfeits. grin

The guy who caught him was a good part of the story as well. Quite good.

My Recollection was Wrong
So, you consider casinos to be "crooks"?
IMHO "YEP"
