Sam's Town in Tunica, MS is closing. Moar chips? (1 Viewer)

[Colquhoun]

Apparently Sam's Town In Tunica is shutting it's doors in November. Does Mississippi gaming law allow the resale of chips? Would love a @TheChipRoom sale!

 

[Huskerchipper]

Just the Tunica location?

They'll have to speed it up to get them in time for black Friday

Good idea but RHC chips? I'd rather NOT.

My name is Sam, just thinking that I should probably be getting one set if they really came up for sales

Best I could find online..

And for the most potato quality photo posted in a while... love the hundred.

They’re all gonna be in bad, bad shape too from my experience there.

Wonder how many casinos will fall down there in the near future. Southland has taken a lot of business.

 

[dizzyChipper]

Who is local?

Im sure a cage employee losing there job would sell racks of yellow 50c chips now right?

Yellow RHC that take an over label in casino used for 50c a chip. I’m in for that.

Correct - ms does not allow resale. Casino is required to destroy chips within 3 years of closure.

Edit - it is allowed is approved by commissioner

 

[suchj0sh]

Well we got the Roadhouse’s somehow (I don’t know the story). I may try to head down there this week. I highly doubt the $0.50’s exist anymore.

 

[inapinch]

It would require approval from the commissioner for resale. Very rare occurrence. I imagine that’s how the Roadhouse got to be resold

If it’s same state once precedence is set it shouldn’t be rare if requested. Was roadhouse different circumstances? E.g. never opened.

 

[suchj0sh]

Roadhouse was open, but it’s the gaming commission. I imagine they can do whatever tf they want, really.

• Caesars announced Roadhouse would cease gaming around Jan 31, 2019. Local Memphishttps://www.actionnews5.comAP News
• Soon after, The Chip Room ran a Roadhouse “value chip” sale starting May 19, 2019—right in the allowed window.
• Why it was allowed. Under MGC Rule 5.6, casinos must submit a written plan to the MGC Executive Director for redeeming discontinued chips and then either destroying them or making some other approved disposition. The rule explicitly allows “such other disposition … as the Executive Director may approve,” and requires public notice of the redemption period. That’s the legal mechanism that lets decommissioned chips end up with vendors/collectors. msgamingcommission.com
• Who the “Executive Director” is. That’s the MGC’s top administrator (the sign-off authority). During 2019 it was Allen Godfrey; today it’s Jay McDaniel.

 

[inapinch]

I hope Jim is swooping in there to discuss possible resale plans! That would be cool

 

[dizzyChipper]

Paging @TheChipRoom for commentary and Penske truck and pallet teaser pics.

 

[inapinch]

I know it won’t make any difference but I’m texting my uncle, former ms commissioner, to text Jay McDaniel lol

To be fair we only really want secondary’s that have never seen play

The 2's were apparently new in 2023. @suchj0sh

if you are going to make a run maybe these would be best condition options.

That's not a bad RHC $2. If reasonable condition then could relabel as $1.

 

[TheWhat]

That's not a bad RHC $2. If reasonable condition then could relabel as $1.

And those 50c could be $5s.

Secondaries maybe in good shape?
