In the wake of January's events, Borgata Casino Hotel & Spa has introduced new, state-of-the-art chips for the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open.

Tournament Director Tab Duchateau tweeted a picture of some of the new chips under a blue light this morning, and they have special markings on them to confirm they are legitimate. During the first break of the day, members of the tournament staff verified the chips at every table using a blue light.

A member of the Borgata staff also told the PokerNews Live Reporting Team that there are "other" ways to verify these new chips. For obvious reasons, this verification process was not explained further.
