Hi Bob and Katie, I guess as a former casino executive I can probably give you some insight into the roulette contraversy. Bob makes some very valid points, our biggest fear when a player walks with wheel chips is that a cheat will try to muck them back into the game at a higher value. This is much more difficult than you might think, if a player comes in and plays a color for anything more than a $1, beleive me the dealer and floor supervisor better know what is in those stacks. Any time a player wants wheel chips at $25 or higher the pit manager and surveillence will be notified immediatly and I assure you this game will be watched. All wheels are filmed all of the time, unlike BJ's or carnival games where cameras with parabolic lenses rotate. Now you know the serious isde let me also say that we don't nesessarly think of collectors taking wheel chips as a criminal offense, I've even had times when we thought it was funny watching someone who was obviously to clumsy and nervous to be a cheat(most of them have practiced their craft and are very cool about it). Toking a waitress for wheel chips is not a good idea, Yes you could get an innocent person fired. I hope this helps, every collector has to make up their own mind on how they feel about taking roulette chips, in most gaming states, if caught you'll just be asked to give them back, but be careful in the Islands and in Tribal casinos.
