Today we talk about the "French roulette" jetons that were used at the Paris Casino in Las Vegas for a short period of time. I believe they were originally introduced in 1999 and the table/jetons and plaques were only in use for a few months. This was something that normally isn't offered in Las Vegas or the United States. Very few casinos have had plaques and jetons in use. Only about 4 casinos that I can think of have had them and they are the Sands, Sahara, MGM Grand and Paris. I don't believe any other casinos have had any, but I may be wrong. The Paris jetons go from $5 all the way up to $1000. $1000 and $500 being the hardest ones to find. There are 3 versions of each; solid, three stripes and 4 half-circle edge spots. Some are more sought after than others, but they are all in high demand. Something if you don't have in your collection I highly recommend you trying to get at least one. Most people don't know that these casinos had these items in use and it can be a fun card guard, talking piece or just amazing piece of a collection. Hope you enjoy!
