A casino recognizes a chip liability equal to the difference between chips placed in service and chips in its own custody/control, adjusted periodically for chips that will never be redeemed. Jackpot liabilities are accrued only when the casino has an obligation to pay — base jackpots that can be avoided (e.g., by pulling the machine) are not accrued, while the customer-funded incremental portion of a progressive jackpot is accrued as play occurs.","concepts":["gaming chip liability","chips placed in service","unredeemed chips","base jackpot","progressive jackpot","obligation to
