It is also interesting to note that...

Unless I am mistaken, every casino I have been to (in Nevada), in addition to a million other signs mostly about being 21 and over, are also posted with the notice that chips are the property of the casino and are not to leave the property.

How then does this square with the selling of LEs? How then does this square with the enforcement of watching for errant roulettes.

I believe that all of the roulettes in my collection (all 30 or so of them) are there at the profit of the casinos. If someone bought-in and then left with a few extras, and then traded them to me, then the casino profited from the buy-in cost minus the manufacturing cost. If someone got them by buying-in and then winning more and then pocketing those, then the casino is profiting from the non-loss of the table value of the chip (i.e., the chip was not cashed in), but they are also out the manufacturing cost. But how is the manufacturing cost any different than the cost of a free drink(s), or the printing of a new slot club card each and every time a collector visits, or any number of so called casino freebies?

Can the casinos have their cake and eat it too?

I am not sure that I can condone their double standard. After all, what may be good for the goose, should be good for the gander, and what am I to do if they send such mixed signals?

Let me ask this, which is less ethical, thousands of people visiting a casino with cash in their pockets and being offered free drinks, or a few people sneaking roulettes off the tables to never be wagered again?

We need some perspective here.
