I'm sure I'm wrong, because my memory is terrible lately, but I think Wiz said many places stopped producing them because the gaming commission said that new chips that are produced need to actually be used in a game. Many casinos don't want to deal with $8 chips

It is now illegal to issue $8 chips in Nevada. So nobody issued a normal $8 chip last year and I expect none this year.
If it is of any consolation, the Wynn made a $1 Chinese new year chip last year and the Venetian made $8 promotional Chinese new year chips, which are not available for sale.

That's really too bad. I'm surprised they banned them outright instead of just insisting they be used in a game. I'm sure the poker rooms wouldn't mind having $8 chips "on offer" for their $40/80 games, whether players choose to use them or not.
Casinos are not your friends, they want your money. But so does Disneyland.
And there is no chance in hell that you will go to Disneyland and come back with more money than you went with.

How does that work? Were they non-cashable "gifts"?
Thanks for the other responses. I wonder if the properties in Macau are doing something?

They are "use until you lose" chips. In other words, you bet the chip and if it wins you're paid in real chips, and still keep the promo chip. Casinos often give them to VIP players to entice them to come in and tournament wins are often given in such promo chips because they evade taxation requirements.

Well that's interesting I didn't know they made that law. I assume this will make odd chip denominations more valuable. Anyone know if thats the case?
