WTB: Real Casino chips

[Picklz]

This is kind of an odd WTB thread but figured I'd throw it out there - I'm looking poker chips from pretty much any casino OTHER than those in Vegas, unless it's a defunct / former Vegas casino. Specifically looking for the various casino's and card rooms around MN and other states. Would prefer any denominations $5 and under, and would buy one of each denomination from each casino. Willing to pay face value + a small service fee. I will update here the Casino's I no longer need, so if you're already at a casino and want to make a few bucks pickup some chips for picklz!

If you have questions let me know.

Thanks
-Matt

reason? I could be tempted to run down to Redwing to get TI for ya if the price is right.

I could run over to Mystic Lake sometime for ya.

Well I'm not really looking for anyone to make some crazy out of the way or special trip, but if you're at one / right by one I'd certainly kick in like $5 or $10 plus the cost of the chips. I've started collecting various chips to have on display in the poker room. I have a number from Vegas and am going to try and get a hold of some cooler / rare chips as well, but want to have a nice collection of chips from non-vegas casino's as well.

Also note I switched this to $5 and under, this should give me more room to display chips from more Casino's.

Oh, well I guess I won't go to the casino I live right by then... <.<

All denoms under $5... got it. I'll try to get there before next weekend.

TI isn't real far from me, and is basically on the way to the inlaws. I can take care of that when I get a chance.

Thanks to Dan I now have Canterbury and Mystic covered!

Did you just walk up to the cash cage and ask for some? I don't really wanna sit down at a table.

From what Dan told me (and this matches up with what I've read/experienced) some casino's the cashier's / cages will sell chips direct, others you have to buy them at the tables - I think Dan played a few hands and then cashed in what he didn't want at the cashier at the one's where they wouldn't sell direct. You can always find an empty table to and see if they will sell you some w/o playing.

 

[Workdawg]

Yup.

I talked to cashiers at each place, but only Canterbury would "sell" me chips. Mystic and Little Six both said I had to get chips from the tables.

Mystic was busy and didn't have any empty tables, so I just sat down and played two hands at a $1 table, then colored up and asked for low denominations.
Little Six had an empty table, so I walked up to the dealer and told her the deal and she gave me the chips I wanted.

Both cases I took the rest of the chips I didn't need to the cage and got my cash back.

Update:

From TI I would like 1 x $1 Chip, 1 x $5 Chip, and if they have the following chip, a $25, if it's a different mold/style I'll pass, not interested in any other denominations.

If you're going to be at a casino let me know ahead of time if possible and I'll see if I can look up what chips they have and figure out which ones I need, I'm getting low on chip display space (lol) so I'm going to be more selective, and I found a site that shows the chips from various casinos. Otherwise don't worry about it

Thanks!
