question about history of casino chips

Hi Folks,
I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I collect small gambling items like dice and spinning tops.
I just wonder how old chips could be. Since when did they start to make chips for (first still) illegal casino's?
Where was the first casino? In the US? How long did it took to spread over the world? Asia? Europe?
Chips look great, there are so many of them. I don't get started to collect them, but I am interested in items like that.
Thanks for any answer in advance,
Marianne
