I had never cashed chips at a chip redemption notice in the newspaper. I was more inclined to go there and bribe to cashes to sell me some of the soon to be obsolete chips, a tactic that worked sometimes, but not often. When I saw the ad in the paper for the Silver Saddle chips, my first thought was that I didn't even know they were closed. But I knew I had a lot of their chips, and hadn't sold or traded one for a long time. This place was a bar that had two 21 tables in the corner, which reminded me of places I had played in decades ago, like the Swanky Club, Cals, or Librandis in Tahoe. There was a door charge to get in, but all you had to do to avoid that was to tell them you were there to play 21. Apparently there is a Nevada law that says you can't be charged to gamble. So, I saved too many of their chips, and decided to see how this redemption thing worked. I saved a 1-5-25, and 100, and decided to part with the rest. All the article gave was an address in Henderson. When I got there, it was just a small office building with several offices, including a dentist. No signs at all. I wandered into a lawyers office, and asked if they represented the Silver Saddle, and the secretary said yes. I produced the chips, and she called over the lawyer, and he looked at them, and instructed her to make sure they were the last issue. I found it odd that they were not recognized immediately, but when I inquired further, I was told that I was the first person to come in with chips even though the ad had been running for months. They did not ask for ID, but paid by check. The whole thing took maybe ten minutes. Anyway, it isn't often that an old timer like me has a new chip experience.
