Don't forget to put together complete roulette chip sets from each casino, and often baccarat uses different denoms, and sometimes larger, chips.Ĭommemorative chips are sometimes only available at the cage.

I guess folks tossing the dollar coins for hardways bets ripped up the felt. Years ago many casinos used metal coins on table games (also used as dollar slot coins), the only game you could buy the clay chips was the crap table. Just don't buy a stack of 20 whites and then sit there at the BJ table going through 'em looking for the cleanest, sharpest edged ones. That's how we all put our chip collections together. Is it considered bad form to just walk up to a table game and purchase one chip and not play? Can you buy chips directly from the cashier window where you normally exchange your chips for cash?

Next time I go to Vegas, I'm thinking about getting a dollar chip from each casino I visit, regardless if I play craps at the casino or not. When playing craps, I will sometimes save a dollar chip as a souvenir.
