Harrah's New Orleans Rebranding (1 Viewer)

@TheChipRoom you think you can get chips from Louisiana? Looks like they've got a spotted, hot-stamped tourney set.
These are obsolete but the rest of the chips seem to match, so they probably use the same 1k design on the new ones:

I want the cash chips. Being from New Orleans the images are fantastic. They havent said anything about changing chips. The parent company isnt changing. I hope they do though as I want the chips but who knows.
I want that!

I know some of these chips are out there, so I dont know if they destroy them unless that is a newer law. https://rubescasinochips.com/collection-casino-chips-tokens/louisiana-chip-token-casino/
I see River City selling on here from time to time.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/louisiana/La-Admin-Code-tit-42-Part-III-SS4315IIRC Louisiana doesn’t allow retired chips to be sold.Not positive but I heard that from a guy that bought a bunch of casino gear from IoC Lake Charles.
It says:
Which means it's possible for them to get approved to resell to Jim, as it does not require destruction explicitly. I believe Missouri

I think the River City situation was a little different. From what I’ve found online, they never paid Paulson for the chips and other equipment (tables, layouts, etc). Paulson was allowed to repo their assets, when the casinos went under. Paulson stamped the cancellation starburst on the chips, and sold them through their retail store in LV.
“Paulson Retail Store”.... ah, what times those must have been!

They are still reeling from the economic effects of this devastating pandemic. Selling unneeded assets would allow some relief, and help keep struggling families stay employed.

Just to let you know, Harrahs is not selling the property. Its parent company Caesars is doing a 350 million dollar improvement to that area of New Orleans. I do know that New Orleans needs tourism, and so sales are down at Harrahs, but a failing company does not invest 350 million into a project. Thus, I am not sure about if the chips will be changed out. The name on the front will be Caesars but I dont know if the chips will follow suit.

I was just getting their language ready for filing with the gaming commission.

I’m laughing in my head about changing the name but not changing the chips. The reason I laugh is that I’m picturing some guy walking around with Harrah’s chips but being completely lost as to where to cash them in as there is no Harrahs anymore in NO. I don’t think they change the name and don’t change the chips, they might not change the spot pattern or graphics (aside from name). At least it isn’t going to happen for a few years and @TheChipRoom has time to get his legal team to find a way just like they did with Mississippi gaming commission last time.
I believe by law, the chips have to reflect the name of the casino. So Harrah's will be out and Caesars New Orleans will be in.

I sure hope that is the case. It isnt until 2024, so we have some time left to be sure.

Just like Horseshoe Southern Indiana became Caesars Southern Indiana hence all of the HSI chips here.

Wow. These will be tough to resist.
So everybody's going to stir in anticipation for 3 more years?

I looooove these cash game chips. Start saving your pennies. It would be amazing if they had any mint cash chips.

If they can be acquired chances are that only the mint secondary will be available. Unless things change. Although oversized inlays on house mold might not be everyone’s favorite.

Nope. But I imagine they are spectacular.
