And, I've seen the following type of sign on the wall in several Nevada casinos.
(my wording may not be precise, but its close.)
""It is against the law for gaming chips from this casino to be used outside the
casino for monetary purposes."
Doesns't this technically mean that if any of us pick up a $5.00 chip at Caesars,
carry it back to the Orleans and sell it to a friend, even if for face value, that we
are violating the law?
Let's leave the roulette guys alone; the casino is making money every time a
r------e chip walks out the door.
