Casino Chips?

Question

This may be a really stupid question but I have never been to Vegas or in a casino...

I want to know if casinos have chips that are worth money. I am getting married and I want to use casino chips as part of my wedding favors so are there any that are worth a dollar???

Answer 1

the chips in the casino cost u lots of money i prefer mine with salt and vinagar

Answer 2

The casino chips (cheques) have a face value.  They are usualy in denominations of $1, $5, $25, $100, $500, $1000, and $5000.  

Those cheques are not actually "worth" anything.  That is, you cannot take them to a store and buy groceries.  They can be played at the table games or exchanged for their face value at the cashier's cage in the casino.   They are usually acceptable at some other casinos nearby, but it is always best to cash then out at the casino they belong to.  

You can take them out of the casino. You can give them to your friends.  You can buys some for someone else.  

Casinos try to keep track of players with $100 cheques and higher denominations.  We are expected to be aware of player buy-ins, cash-outs, and any transactions that appear to be an attempt to evade our tracking of players' activities.  

If you give away $1 or $5  cheques to your friends or guests there should be no trouble.

Call the casino where you are planning to have your reception.  Not all casinos use $1 cheques.

Depending on the number of members in your party, you may even be able to arrange for the casino to open a few tables for gaming lessons and play for you and your guests.

Answer 3

yes - you play with the chips then cash them in at the casino so there are bound to be $1 ones.  best to find a casino close to you and give them a call

Answer 4

Yes, there are chips that are worth a dollar. They're all worth money, except for the roulette chips. If you want to use real chips, you can just go to a table or the cashier's cage and buy as many as you want. If you just want to use them as favors, you could go online or to a store and just buy non-value chips, like you would use to play poker and use them. It would be cheaper.

Answer 5

Yes, every casino has chips worth a dollar; however, outside that particular casino they are worth nothing.  As someone said, they are not legal tender for purchasing groceries, clothes, etc.

Your idea sounds great but would only make sense if (1) you are getting married in Vegas or somewhere that has a number of casinos, or (2) you live within a reasonable distance to casinos where your wedding guests can redeem their chips.

If you live in Duluth, Minnesota, and are including as wedding favours $1.00 chips from the Stratosphere in Vegas, this would not make much sense, unless they put them on a keychain or something!  They are only legal tender in the casinos they originate from.
