Its actually a Canadian issue in one of the Provinces with vague ramifications,just alarmed me to think of cops sniffing around these casinos.
Lets face it a lot of the regulars go for pot breaks because they think it helps them focus,so now they have to go farther away in case a cop notices and I love playing high players.
For personal use of the debit card I see no issues and it would most likely go unnoticed. What I was thinking of was implementing a way for most of the players to exploit this work around. Few problems that seem to be glaring are eventual authorities catching on(casino cashier,cops or management with audits) and so many people using it that the wrong person blurts it out to the wrong person or disagrees full out with this plan.
Part of me thinks this is lip service because they have been saying for years they would crack down on gangs using casinos to clean their money and have done little do achieve this. Always sweat going to the cashier and having to sign a form or show id. Sometimes I sell my chips at the table if possible.
We have a high asian population and they tend to have a ton of cash,in a ten minute session I watched 3 guys pretty much going allin every other hand for 5k and reaching into their satchels for more. You kill these guys and the action will start retracting till it hits the 1/2 tables which is just donk play mostly.
There was a story couple of years ago where a gang member was at the final table in a yearly event and won I think it was 250K and they let him pose with the cheque and then swooped in and nabbed him for murder. Either the casino tipped them or some one in the casino,either way eyes are watching these places in a real big brother way.
