When I wrote my post I was going from memory, but I was fairly certain that I have seen such signs on numerous occassions.

After Gene's post about the "Regulations" being on-line, I took a look, and sure enough, it there, at two locations as follows:

Regulation 12 Chips and Tokens.

12.060 Use of chips and tokens

1. Chips and tokens are solely representatives of value which evidence a debt owed to their custodian by the licensee that issued them and are not the property of anyone other than that licensee.

2. (d) Post conspicuous signs at its establishment notifying patrons that federal law prohibits the use of the licensee's tokens, that state law prohibits the use of the licensee's chips, outside the establishment for any monetary purpose whatever, and that the chips and tokens issued by the licensee are the property of the licensee, only : and ...

The emphasis is mine. This requirement tends to stipulate that ALL chips and tokens are the property of the casinos and not just roulettes.

I have found no regulation that covers the willful "sale" of chips or tokens by the casinos for carry-out by the patrons. But as we all know, they do it all the time, and the action is contrary to the "regulated" purpose of chips and tokens.

It sure seems to me that I, as well as many, many others, are holding property (as though we own it) that according to Nevada Gaming, does not belong to us. And I am not just talking about roulettes!
