    Then how did you get the players card ? Did you use a friends' card ?

    Absolutely no form of ID for the alias? That's kind of risky.


    You could try to check change the chip at a blackjack table and throw out the alias player's card with it. That way they can see you played there before, and may even be able to see the color up where you got the chip. I'd say they're less likely to try to demand government ID at the table than at the cage, because casinos are a lot happier accepting action than paying out winners.

    Once you get the chip broken down, play a little bit, and then take smaller denomination chips away from the table. Come back on a different day, and do a smaller cashout. Or keep an inventory of those chips for future play if you go there regularly.

    Because you don't have anything to give them if challenged at the cage. You also don't have an ID to present to use your comps, so I don't see a lot of point to even using the card. Unless you're just using the card to make them like your action more.


    The big issue is taking the $5000 chip in the first place.

    Agree with both statements.

    Playing a HL room without a card is automatically a red flag. While I don't want to speak for the OP, I can see that as a reason to use it. DOn't forget we haven't heard how he got it. Having a card with an alias is not a crime. Having a fake gov't ID is.

    First off, I am an idiot for taking the $5,000 chip. I never do, and I know better. I am haunted by my bad decision to take the chip when I always ask for yellows.

    The ID for the alias doesn't scan well. It works for checking in, but not for some of the sophisticated scanners that now seem to be popping up. I am afraid to use it with a $5,000 chip. If I show a player's card for the alias who got the chip, I am convinced they will ask for ID, and that will cause more trouble.

    I have no problem showing my ID and players card for myself separate from the alias, but I don't have the play to support getting the chip.
