WANTED TO BUY - Casino Chips

Hi guys & gals,

My name is Tim and I'm one of the NE operators for the NPL. As well as running NPL games at night & doing what my wife tells me at all other times, I like to collect casino chips & memorabillia as a hobby. My main focus is on Australian chips but I have a healthy collection of US & other foreign chips as well, all up around 4,500 and counting.

So, if you've ever been to an Aussie casino & pocketed a couple of souveniers that have since been sitting in the drawewr next to your bed or in your jacket pocket ever since, then drop me an email or PM & turn them into cash. In particular any Australian chips (including roulette, tournament, No Cash Value etc), tokens, jetons, casino cash, decks, keyrings, employee buttons, promotional items etc. etc. etc. Also if you have any US or foreign chips that you might like to sell then contact me anytime. Top prices always paid for the right stuff I need.

Thanks guys, :-)

Tim.

Forgot to add to the previous post...

If anyone is looking for a great card cover other than the gold protectors we see every night in their 100's, then drop me a line. I have over 700 duplicate casino chips from Australia & around the world currently sitting in racks. I'm more than happy to send you scans of what I have.

Prices are on average only about $3 for a standard $1 US house chip, less for fractionals (25c 50c etc) chips but a bit more for higher denominations & Australian chips.

Cheers, Tim.

Have two Reef Casino 50c chips. From Cairns. Willing to get rid of one.
Have real dealer buttons now.

Can always go to crown and get chips if needed. Ebay is good. There are a few sites out there.

As for US chips, unfortunately, only played the jokies. But still have a bucket load of quarters and us notes. Not to mention canadian notes too. But they are souvenirs LOL. Expensive but still souvenir.

PM me if your interested in the Reef casino chip

Hey Brett, thanks for the reply. Firstly, I am unable to accept your apology about intrducing Garth to poker. Anyone who believes K4 off is playable is not to be trusted. :-)

Regarding the Reef chips is it either of these two?

Yep Tim, sorry, just went and had a look at them.

Middle section is worn on both, so yeah looks like you have better condition ones already. Not to worry.

All good mate, keep 'em coming! :-)

Speaking of Crown Casino, do you know if they still offer "learn to play tables' up there with the Training chips? They used to many years ago but no sure if it's still going.

Also, do you play roulette? Trying to get all the roulette chips as well. If you do, make sure you palm a couple for me.

Been a while since i was down at the casino, no free money to chuck away yet.

The Roulette chips can be grabbed just have to be careful i think. Trying to remember back to the training days.

As for the learn to play tables, think they come out sporadically, just opposite the foodcourt is where the area is, but if they have a promo on then it doubles up as that also.
