I was playing with yellow colored chips last night. Prior to a spin, I stepped away from the table to go check my points on my players card at the nearby kiosk. Just as I come back, "no more bets" is announced. I look down at the felt and to my surprise there are a lot more yellow chips placed on different numbers than I put down. I immediately yell out that I didn't play all those numbers. I then check my stack of yellow chips, they were untouched. Some old lady brought her yellow chips over from the adjacent roulette table. She said she wanted to play both tables, lol.

None of the numbers hit, but if she would of won, would the casino still of paid her? A win would of held up the game to review the video to see which one of us won (or both, and then determine how much each of us was owed).

I hope you learned YOUR lesson.... never leave the table when the dealer is asleep.

As I understand it, the technical rules are that once someone takes wheel chips from away from the table she bought them from, the chips immediately become valueless -- expensive souvenirs. In practice, if they are $1 wheel chips, this is not enforced.

Never take wheel chips away from a table without converting them to checks.

The dealer wouldn't know the value
of her chips and wouldn't pay her.
He wouldn't even if he did know,
they're only good on the table they
were bought at. Most casinos only
allow you to place bets on one table
at a time anyway, even if you're using casino
chips.
