Whoa...before this becomes to much of a topic...let me clarify,

The smiley faces on my post were intended to convey a tone of humor. Yes, I know harvesting tourney chips is not legal nor advisable, yes, I have walked off with a few roulette chips for my collection from time to time. No, I am not advocating theft of any property or service from anywhere or anyone, my moral compass may be a little banged up but it still functions.

I will say in all seriousness, that there are myriad roulette chips, tourney chips and even chips from illegal gambling house and I am pretty sure that they all were not introduced into collections AFTER they were rendered obsolete or defunct.

I meant no disrespect to anyone or any legal statute currently enforceable by any law enforcement agency and will try to be less subtle in my pithy quips going forward.
