Anyone who shows up and throws down anything larger than a $100 chip at a craps table is going to draw serious attention to themselves from the pit boss and the folks upstairs.

People just don't show up at a pedestrian craps table and throw down $25,000 chips, much less $1000 chips.

There were probably a very small amount of > $1,000 chips at a craps table anyway, and their only real use would be to pay out to a big winner.
