My son and I stopped in at Oaklawn Park a couple years ago on our way back from Texas. I lke to play the ponies. I went into casino twice and hung around for half hour or so each time trying to get a seat at the automated blackjack games. That's the only way to get a chip back then. The dealer handled chips for the players but the game was a video game set-up. Sort of bogus in my opinion. I never did get a seat and never got a chip. The cage wouldn't sell any and there were no other chip using games. Hope things are better for chippin' now.
