Hey Chuck - thanks! I'm in the middle of no-casino land unfortunately...Lexington, Kentucky. I've been to a couple of the river boats in Indiana a few times, got out to Vegas a few times and AC once. Going to Niagra Falls for New Year's and I hear they have a couple casinos. So if I keep up the same pace for the next couple of years I'll be able to get some chips 'on-site'. I don't really know what area of chip collecting I want to focus on yet, simply because today is my first day knowing of all this. I think I'll start by attempting to get one from each casino in North America...is that an OK first goal???
