They only used the snapper for free play. (it's about a 5 miles from my house and we're there all the time) Hence, the $5 sharpie mark, which comes off pretty easy.

I tried and tried, but the pit bosses always watched them when they went out. As in, they'd stand at the table and say "you know those chips have no value, you need to use them. I'd put it on the bottom of my chip stack and they'd come around and ask where it was. I know EVERYONE in that casino and no one would touch my request to purchase one with a 10 foot pole. (only a few knew I collected chips) Not even the GM.

I tried to buy one of another player that had a stack of 'em, but the pit boss put the ax to that pretty fast.

A month ago they were given free play away every hour on thursday, I won twice and was able to load up, because there were so many on the floor.

Crazy.
