A casino employee at Golden Nugget Casino in Lake Charles was arrested Friday night after police say she was exchanging Golden Nugget casino chips for L’Auberge casino chips.
Troopers assigned to the Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division said surveillance agents monitored the activities of casino blackjack dealer 52-year-old Cindy Thompson of Lake Charles during her shift. Agents say they observed Thompson place chips into her apron multiple times.
During an interview, Thompson admitted to taking chips during her shift and showed where she hid the chips worth $1000.00.
She was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center on felony theft charges. Her bond is set at $5,000.
State Police say an investigation is continuing.

I don't understand how you can exchange chip of one casino to the other .
Is that allowed in Vegas?

I know the 2 casinos in question in this story are right next door to each other in the middle of nowhere.
Bascially a dump

Chop - pretty much all the major casinos in Vegas will take chips at the cage from another one
