ok so let me see if I understand this correctly when a gambler walks away with a hot stamp chip for 25cents the casino ends up losing 25cents on that chip because the cost to replace it is 50cents and when they walk away with a 25cent inlay chip the casino ends up losing 75cents because the chip costs a dollar to replace? ok heres an answer that some of you may not like but it could save the casinos thousands of dollars a year just use regular u.s. mint produced quarters and half dollars there is no cost to the casino to have them made all they needd to do is go into the cash vault and get additional roles out to the table and when the casino needs more rolls of quarters and half dollars make the appropriate payment to the bank and have them delivered right from the bank to the casino no hassle no fuss.
