I've never gambled, but I'm pretty sure if I got 1.630e11 chips at a casino, something bad would happen to me, the casino, and the economy if I cashed it out. I think that's 84 billion chips....

Times are different now, there's no more turning up in a ditch. If you start winning too often, they're gonna keep an eye on you and try to determine if you're cheating. If you're not, they're gonna ask you to leave and ban you from the casino before you can actually win anything significant — the justification given is that it's their casino and they can refuse entry to whoever they want. If you are cheating, then you're just going to jail.

It's 163 Billion chips.

1.630e11 is the same as 1.630 x 10^11

Which probably wouldn't be that bad for the economy, but it might bankrupt the casino, depending on the value of the chips.
