Default I started doing it a few years ago

It's a neat way to remember your travels. I am missing one from Monte Carlo (blackjack), Amsterdam and a few others. But, maybe some day I can go back and get them.

My next mission is to get a display case I can keep them in.

My father keeps golf balls from all the courses he's played. It's a sick collection.

casinos actually want you to take their chips and they make a lot of money from people collecting them. The chip costs less than $1 for them to make, so every time some buys 1 for a dollar and leaves with it them make money.

Sort of like the federal government printing those novelty quarters from each state. The government makes a boatload of money because of people collecting them and taking them out of circulation.

In Atlantic City and all of Nevada, the chips are considered to be gaming equipment which is the property of the casino. The gambler never "owns" them. Technically, the casinos could demand them back, but of course, they never do.

I have been doing it for a bit, and starting collecting them from NY clubs. Of course, that is not an option anymore. I have even posted here several times to see if anyone has any extra chips from any defunct NY clubs, but no one has responded.

But, if anyone has any to sell, please send me a pm. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I keep all the "extra" chips that could not be paid
out in $100 increments. I literally had a giant
shopping bag full of $1 $2 & $5 chips. It was
great fun walking into the room with the bag! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I did, however, grab a few racks and take them up to
the food area where I transferred them before going to
the tables...I just might bring the bag to the table next
time just for the look on peoples faces (maybe adding
"they look real don't they?")

Just wondering if anyone keeps maybe a $1 chip or somethin from each casino they go to. I was thinking about starting up a little collection like this. Don't know how a casino would take me walking out with some of their chips though, but I don't think they'd mind.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't NJ casinos have to keep the cash on hand to pay off any chip they've ever issued?
