something. I cannot find your quoted reference, ' "chips are for gaming use only" ' anywhere.

Believe me, I do not want to split hairs with you, but the Regulation that I have says absolutely nothing at all like your quote. And for purposes of this discussion, such a quote is rather misleading.

I've also done a search on the term "gaming use" and again, there are no hits and therefore no definition.

Consequently, I believe that my earlier comment remains valid:

"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."

Or, are you suggesting that when a licensee is required to state in writing to Gaming the intended use for a proposed chip, that they say souvenir sales in the case of LEs? Probably not.

I am not trying to promote or discourage acquisitions of roulette chips. Just as I am not promoting or discouraging the acquisition of NCV Tournament chips, which share the "re-introduction" concept of roulettes, but perhaps in a more direct or threatening manner. However, I see plenty of collections/collectors with roulettes, and/or NCV Tournament chips and suggest that they have no right to call the kettle black.

I have simply pointed out, and put up the link for eveyone to go see, that Nevada Gaming stipulates that chips (roulettes, NCV, regular use, etc.) are the property of the licensee (the Casinos).
