I get them every week. and when played at a table, say BJ if you play the 25.00 NCV chip and win they take the NCV chip and give you a real 25.00 chip. Dollar for dollar at some casinos that have it, with NCV chips with a 25.00 bet win you get a good 25.00 chip and keep the 25.00 NCV chip. Much better deal, if you win 3-4 in a row, that @5.00 NCV chip made you 75.00 or 100.00 dollars.
