I'm doing my research, but you can make a thread about it too, of course! I'll let you! lol JK! I've discovered a lot, it's a vast subject, so it will be enriching to see your thread too! Good luck this week, Sami! See you on the felt!najisami said:
I agree on the fact that it doesn't violate any law that I know of, especially if it's about a couple of chips. We're not talking about hundreds of them, in which case, cashing them would be more appropriate anyway.R.Holynskyi said:
As to the second part of your post, it could be that you suddenly needed to leave and the cashier was way farther than the exit, so exchanging your chips at the table for only 2 or 3 of a large denomination with the intention to use them at a later time doesn't seem inappropriate either.
That’s a good question, Sami! But I think it’s not allowed in most places. The thing is, you’re taking them on a temporary basis (in other words, renting them). You’re required to return them. However, if it’s a limited number of chips and you’re a regular at the casino, the managers might let you keep them as a souvenir, for example. 🤔

Good answer John 👍.
But if you put 2 or 3 chips in your pocket and leave, regular or not, I don't think it would hurt anyone. They are of no use anyway except in that particular casino. You'll come back and use them another day.
If we’re talking about ‘next time’, I’d prefer to have cash with me. But if, for example, there’s a queue at the till and I know I’ll be back at this place tomorrow or in the next few days, I think I’d just take my chips with me.
I have always taken my chips with me if I was coming back, and always took a $1 chip if I wasn't.
I had a bunch of old chips when I joined CC, but I met someone here who was a collector and ended up sending them to him.
never heard of them being valuable, but had them from many places, including cruise ships, the Bahamas, and Jamaica.
still have a silver dollar my grandmother gave me when Vegas was cash, and we used to play in stores and gas stations.

Hey @maronza1
I think Jay is right. You really need to live that experience. It's so captivating and exciting. Those are probably the wrong words to describe it, but that's all I got right now.
You don't have to gamble or play anything. Just walk around. It's certainly a very fascinating "World" for whoever walks in for the 1st time.

That's another idea, well suited for gamblers 😉🤣.
Normally, there are many cashiers, I don't think it could be hard to cash your chips, but in many casinos, they are located in one area, next to each other. It could be that you were playing at the other side of the building and you needed to leave right away. That's where my question comes. Keep the chips and use the closest exit or is that illegal?
Hi, Sami!najisami said:
Actually, I decided to post about casino memorabilia because I discovered that there is a huge variety of collectible casino items. Take a look:

Do you have any casino memorabilia? Casino memorabilia has a huge variety of collections and collectors. Here are some items I found: Vintage poker chips: $1 John Ascuaga’s Nugget Token Chip Money Clip Sparks, Nevada: Excalibur Hotel & Casino 8.5″ Souvenir Plate: Thunderbird Hotel...

Cautious approach. Better safe than sorry.Rost said:
Honestly, before this thread, I always thought there was nothing wrong with taking chips with you. If anything, you're the one losing. Instead of money in your pocket, you only have chips that have no value except in that particular casino.

That's relatively new and it concerns mostly big denomination chips I think.
Still, I don't see why you can't take with you chips that are yours. You're the one at a disadvantage actually since you can't use them anywhere.
