for sale Chips from Malta for sale

While on vacation in Malta last week, I visited the 4 casinos and picked up some chips (with varying degrees of success grin )
1's and 5's were no problem anywhere, and they sold me 50c at Dragonara and Casino Venezia Malta (CVM).
The other low denoms were a different story. I only managed (by playing) to get a couple of each of the other 25c and 50c chips.

The Casino at Portamaso uses junket chips (the ones with the blue inlays).
Not sure if this is standard for casinos using junkets but this is how it worked. If you are playing with junket chips then you get paid out in the same - so they existed for all denoms from 1 to 500. However, minimum junket bet is 10 on BJ and 5 on roulette. Only way a 1 euro junket chip gets paid out is if someone hits a zero with an even money bet on roulette.
So, I spot someone going to the cage to cash their junket chips, apprehend them, and buy a stack of 5's grin
I head back to the table and decide to play a bit. No-one pays any attention until I finally hit a zero and get paid 2.50 including 2 of the junket 1 euro chips. Immediately the pit boss sees them being paid out he runs over and demands to know where I got the junket chips grin I explain, and tell him why I want them. He has the dealer change up my remaining 5 euro chips to regular ones and tells me to play those or take a hike. I take a hike with the few 5's I had pocketed before playing and the two 1's.

Apparently other casinos use junket chips as well but NOT during the month of August. I guess that ties in with all the various freeplay coupons in magazine, on boarding passes, and restaurant receipts also not valid during August.

The prices below include shipping. If you buy more than one chip then deduct 50c per extra for combined shipping.
Basically they are priced at my acquisition cost.

Email me if interested, I only have one to a few of the odd denoms.
