These are definitely Casino used, hooker juiced and all, I haven't checked to see if they will stand on edge as I'm busy drinking tequila in Ensenada at the moment .
I need a barrel of the old inlay $1s. 2 barrels would be choice so I can cull out the uglies. Let me know. :)

Edit: I'm working on a solids tribute set built around the 1s. Any color of the old inlay is fine. Better than bike tires is the goal. If they stand on edge that would be awesome. :)

I saw the old style snappers, but did not see any of the new style.

I will try to check this thread one more time before tomorrow, intermittent cell service
 
Luckily Panorama was able to get fixed so she could still sail the xmas and new years trips. bunch of sailings were cancelled back in Nov and basically all of Dec
 
A lot of demand this time of the year. We just got home from ten days on Celebrity Equinox, Grand Cayman and the ABCs. No more for a couple of months...
 
Nice! you have so many more option out of FL than us West coast folk. basically Mexico in the winter and Alaska in the summer Hawaii if you want to take 2 weeks
 
Yes, Radiance. Had a casino offer, ended up inviting all the family, they were also able to get the offer. I think 18 of us total.

BTW, poker sucks, only one totally automated table. That's it.
 
Yes, thc, autocorrect from my phone keeps changing everything, lol. Trk, try, the, TRK, they.......
 
My Father and step mother go on about 10 cruises a year. I kept asking them to bring me back some chips and this year they finally were going to. They said they asked someone on the ship and were told chips absolutely could not be taken and kept. I asked my step mom to ask someone else or try to get me some anyways but she refuses. Hoping I can show here a couple pics from here to get her to try again.
 
I harvested these during my last cruise...

I was halfway through my 3rd rack after about 6 days when the pit boss pulled me aside and asked me to return the chips. When the cage was running short, they apparently went to the cameras.

He told me he couldn't make me return them, but was asking nicely for their return. I told him I would bring some back. I returned about 60 of them and gave up on the 3rd rack for that trip.

I still get the casino deals for free cruises, so they didn't blacklist me and they know I got off the ship with 200+ chips.

Don't ask - don't tell.

Gamble, slip a chip or three in your pocket here and there. Move from table to table - when they ask you to color up, you say "just moving to that table" and then move to that table (don't have to gamble - just move and be there for a few minutes). Periodically go to the 'bathroom' (your room, to empty pockets). Or have someone else in your group, like a wife/etc periodically come over and have them take them away. Lots of ways to get chips.

I'm guessing they're not gamblers(?), as they asked about getting chips (answer will virtually always be 'NO').

I will sometimes ask at a large casino about a rack, but that's hard these days even with an offer of a large tip. Often have to know someone or be a constant gambler with a high tier player's club card to get a chip cage to sell a rack or more. I know there are exceptions - but am speaking for the most part.

Nice! Very nice!
 
My step mom gambles all the time and is luckier than anyone I know winning almost every damn time and bringing home more than she went with.
She however drives me nuts following every single rule no matter how stupid it is. I swear. Rules were made for people like her unable to ever think for herself.
I'm pretty sure the only way I'll ever get any chips is going and getting them myself. My dad doesn't gamble and would catch hell from her if he went and got me some chips.
