"It never hurts to ask the casino for some Roulette chips; explaining that you're a collector."

Three quick stories I have told before.

A pit boss who knows I collect roulette chips once asked me if I wanted a set from this casino. I said no thanks I already have them

I once asked a pitboss friend who knows I collect if they could sell me a set. They said no, but play and take what you want.

I once had a shift manager walk me to one table stop the game to sell me one of each color and then over to the next table to do the same.
