Re: Keeping Chips from Casinos
[ QUOTE ]
I'm curious. If you use a chip from another casino as a chip protector, does that chip play? I considered doing this if I ever did start a collection, but I don't wanna lose them in a pot if I do lol.

The obvious answer is no, but it actually does depend.
If I was playing a NL game at the Wynn and I was using a yellow ($1k) bellagio chip to protect my cards, I actually believe it would play. In vegas, casino chips (at least the high denomination ones) are pretty much interchangeable (I can cash Bellagio chips at Wynn and vice versa), at least by the chips runners. I would check if this holds true for chips you just have sitting on teh table, but I believe it would.
If it's a chip from another city, I doubt it would play, but make sure people realize it's not a real chip from that casino if the colors are similiar.
