Does this mean a ##%$ tonne of cheap Ballys are about to flood the market?

No, LV gaming commission laws the chips must be destroyed. If you wanted them you had to pay face value a week ago.

Thanks for clearing that up

You never get a bunch that escape the purge?

Never, but people have "harvested" them. They went in, paid $500 for a rack, and we keep them/collect them! You could buy a mint rack probably for $800-$1200. Used rack probably $700.

For now… but mark my words.
In a few years the Bally’s $5 will be at a premium

Hmmm, it's not leaded and was readily available during years we all harvested. I think double your money $1,000 racks will be the peak, but nothing surprises me.

How long will non-harvester's have to cash in their Bally's LV chips before they're obsolete? Is this governed by NV law? Just curious. I'm keeping mine.

Probably a year. But consider this: if you walk in with multiple racks of chips and try to cash them in, they are certainly going to look at you funny, likely have a visit with security and management and they may not cash you out.
