Yes, All the indian casino's I have been to , You have to play the game - In some cases they can stop you at the door leaving with chips - and let you know you are no longer welcome back ( Bared )- I have seen this happen many times - Yes there is alot of work involved for indian chip collectors - So in my mind it's well worth the extra paid (to a point for these chips )- A few $$ over face does not bother me - I'll Have the chip in my collection - I mostly Trade or buy - I very seldom sell.
