Head's Up: Counterfeit Chips Scheme Busted at Texas Card House Dallas

Last week, the infamous Texas Card House Dallas (TCH Dallas) vowed to protect gamers after managing to quash a devious plot to insert phony poker chips into their cardroom. The uncovered scheme saw the masterminds intend to dupe players by sneaking the counterfeit chips into the club, and authorities are now on the hunt for the culprits.

Although law enforcement has allegedly nabbed the scam artists, it remains uncertain if the false chips ever made it onto the casino tables. According to informed sources, the suspects were quickly nabbed as soon as they set their plan in motion. They attempted to pass the phony chips by sending accomplices to cash them.

The TCH Dallas initially discovered the deception and promptly alerted players to steer clear of trading or purchasing chips from non-official sources. PokerNews' source reportedly stated, "We caught it almost immediately. We've caught them."

Described as "highly convincing," the bogus chips led TCH Dallas to consider enhancing their chip security by integrating RFID chips into their current poker chips. The club conveyed their concern for gamers' safety and the integrity of their games via their Facebook page, asserting that the only legitimate way to acquire chips is by directly purchasing and cashing them in at a TCH Dallas location.

If the scenario unfolds under Texas Penal Code §32.23, those responsible for the scam could face felony charges. The statute addresses counterfeit games, which may include using counterfeit chips adorned with the casino's trademark to deceive gamers. Potential consequences include jail time and hefty fines.

The TCH Dallas reminded players to stick to purchasing chips directly from their Texas locations to ensure their authenticity, upholding the integrity of the Dallas Fort Worth poker community. The club operates six separate establishments across Texas, with clubs in Austin, Dallas, Las Colinas, Rio Grande, Spring, and Houston.

Back in the day, the Texas Card House Dallas landed in the spotlight when a temporary "Revocation of License" oversight caused a stir in the Texas poker community. Fortunately, the issue was swiftly addressed, allowing poker in the state to flourish, despitetx operating primarily as a social club with membership fees rather than a rake.
