Dennis,

You should understand that there is an ethics issue here, and quite possibly a legal issue (depending upon jurisdiction). Playing tokens from one casino in the machines of another casino, especially when all such tokens are normally marked "for use only at ...." could be illegal.

Secondly, many modern-day machines will reject older tokens, as well as current tokens from other casinos, because they have the ability to detect weight differences, color differences and in some cases the absence of anti-counterfeiting patterns.

Although casinos can be viewed as faceless corporate identities with deep pockets and your few tokens are insignificant, bear in mind that in Nevada, casinos are required to pull "foreign" tokens. If those tokens are un-returnable, then the casino is required to destroy the token. But what happens if the "foreign" token results in a jackpot? Seems to me the casino has been defrauded and they may not like it. Even worse, what if you win a jackpot and it is invalidated because of the use a "foreign" token. Will the casino stop at just invalidating the jackpot, or will they press charges.

It's up to you as to what you do with them, and I know that you have posted messages previously to get rid of them. However, I would suggest that you make additional offers to sell or trade them, perhaps even put them on your site (which looks very nice by the way).

There are some collectors out there who might be interested in the tokens if there was a better description or even scans.

Good luck,

Jim Follis

BTW-Some of the reeded pattern tokens make excellent files for jailhouse bars.
