Wynn Macau has managed to catch six Chinese mainlanders trying to cash in fake counterfeiting gaming chips. The casino managed to seize a total of 38 highly sophisticated chips, each with a microchip within it and a total face value of HK$10,000 ( US$1,250). The chips managed to fool dealers and some were actually cashed. A few hours later, security staff managed to detect the chips were fake and were able to find the gamblers still within the casino, about to cash in a further set of chips.

All six of the mainlanders were arrested and will face prosecution. Macau police have released a statement stating that the chips were produced by a larger syndicate in mainland China. The gamblers who were arrested are merely runners who are told to try and cash the chips.
