Hacienda Free Play Token


The only metal Hacienda FP token is 306.0 It's 42 mm, aluminum, and valued at $6-8.

I think free-plays are rarer than many casino chips, but the demand from collectors is not there... thus the low prices. They were not looked at as valuable when given out, and are still not by most people. More in the category of free key chains and such.

Another problem in their price appreciation potential is that they were often disposed up in bulk after a promotion was over, so there are caches of several hundred of a particular type that show up from time to time. Apparently Gaming has no interest in these tokens since they have no stated value, and there's no destruction requirement as there now is for chips.

By the way, just to size the "promotional token" possibilities, there are 150 pages in the guide I mentioned with about 5 per page, so there are at least 750 to look for. Quite a number of these are plastic, rather than metal, and free drink tokens are also included.
