Walter, is the Eu 100 “true value” paid to get it? If so, you must have invested large sum of money into your hobby, but for sure, the “intrinsic value” must be immense and more gratifying to you.

The largest amount I collected – just one piece was a $100 Grand Opening 2001 from Palm Casino, thinking to stick it with the GO book or with the Millennium group - because of the 2001 date. However, my Chihuahua puppy decided it for me. We were looking for the chip all over the living room could not find it. Saw the puppy chewing – open his mouth there it was. Next trip to the convention and I cashed it with the help of Gene T – badly damaged.

With the exception of the 0.50 and 1 on the top left of the page – looks like you got – the primary rack and the secondary rack or the backup chips, as they do in all New Jersey casinos. I could be wrong maybe the European regulators and the chip manufacturer do it differently. Just as you said – blackjack is paid with a 5, two 1’s and .50 or simply a 5, 2 and a .50. I am just reading into your page scan.

Referencing only to Las Vegas, only Casuarina casino issued a snapper when they opened in 2003, which closed in 2013. Interesting to note is the issuance of Stratosphere casino of a snapper 12 full years after they opened in 2008, they opened in 1996.

Interesting to note also are the US$1.00 coins marked with stickers $2.50 issued by Honest John and by Lady Luck. I prefer to classify them as snapper just for my collections and personal satisfactions – no offense intended to other snapper collectors – who do not collect 2/6 UK or Australian chips and jetons, to those who do not collect the tokens of UK casinos in 2.50 pounds but collect the Reno Horseshoe Club, Nevada. This is the only token issued in 1968 – “Two-Fifty Gaming Token for Use by Player Only”.
