Alas, like chipping, Spinetti's is probably going the way of the dodo bird. It surely is one of the largest chip dealers on Planet Earth and, if you listen hard, you can hear the Fat Lady warning-up!

Someone needs to shake the trees to keep this hobby/biz alive. It's already on life support in many respects but the diehards can't see the forest for the trees!

The likely impending demise of chipping only will be fueled by the phase-out of casino chips. Do you thing the Golden Gate Casino will ever use chips again now that dealer games have been eliminated? Let that sink in a bit - the oldest hotel in The Gambling Capital of the World is going chipless!.

I don't mean to be a naysayer but chippers need a wake-up call and an action plan to avoid the slow death of the hobby/biz IMO.
