Are you a fan of custom poker chips? Then you’d be interested in the casino poker chips known as “Cranberries” that are $25,000 each! Ok, these are poker chips specially made by the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas and a bunch of them were stolen in December 2010 during a motorcycle heist.

Anthony Carleo was arrested on February 3, 2011 in the very casino he robbed! In an article on the LA Times, they discussed the fact that Carleo had been staying at the Bellagio casino because he was comped since he lost a good deal of money, which amounted to over $100,000.

That is a small amount compared to the 1.5 million he is accused of stealing during that December heist. It is widely known that casino grade poker chips are tracked by casinos however if that’s really the case, how was Carleo able to use these same poker chips in the very same casino that he robbed? This is something that all casino’s will be paying attention to because if Carleo was able to do this, what’s stops someone else from doing the same thing?

We’ll all be eagerly watching this to learn more about this case and the reactions of all the casinos around the world. For more custom poker chips and casino style poker chips check out our main website, http://www.signaturepoker.com/
