I would purchase only Halloween for $5.00 LE chips. However, I would buy any LE chip in $1.00 denominations, as well as any and all house chips $5.00 and lower.

If your contact is looking for ways to get into the area to capitaliz on chip collecting, he may be better off to do some of these following:

$5.00 Halloween chips
$5.00 and lower house chips. When you think about the vast numbers of collectors who collect house chips, issuing a new house chip each year could add to the revenues from chips as well as the revenues generated by the collectors gambling while in the casino.

There are lots of ideas to bounce around for lower denomination chips without getting into just a simple year on the chip like the Orleans Casino. When I look through my collection, each and ever chip looks the same with the exception of the date. I prefer to have some different graphic to enjoy. When it's just a date difference, I feel shorted. To me, it's the same chip.

If the casino has a poker room, they can issue poker room chips. These could be in off denominations such as $2.00, $3.00 and $4.00.

They can issue a chip for a specific table game, i.e., craps, red dog, pai gow, BJ, whatever.

The trick for them is to issue just enough to keep the collectors hungry without too far resulting in a saturated market, making them seem like Beenie Babies.

So I guess I'm saying, I think there are many collectors of house chips, and limited numbers to collect foreign non house chips.

So....try to kill two birds with one stone: issue "limited release" house chips! Why not get his feet just a little wet and test the waters.
