Does anybody know if the Wynn has released a 2018 Chinese New year chip? I can't find any on eBay and it seems like they should be out by now.

Thanks

L,
I have always collected these to. Some reason most LV have dropped these. Really disappointing.

I think it was in reaction to the $8 chip being discontinued. As many of you know, eight is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture. A few years ago, the Nevada gaming commission stopped casinos from making $8 chips for Chinese New Year, since the chips were actually not for table play, but simply being offered by collector’s items from the casino (in the NGC’s point of view). Since then, casinos have offered other denominations as CNY chips, but I don’t think they have been as popular as the $8 chips, so IMHO, that’s why fewer casinos have been making CNY chips.

You mean you couldn't use them on the craps table? $8 hard 8! Maybe in the field. Haha.
 
I knew they had stopped making the $8 chips but I’ve been getting 10 each of the $1 releases. Hoping to get a full rack that I could actually use in play. I will need a new plan now.
 
Glad I guess they made it to year of the rooster last year before quitting (my birth year). I have every Wynn CNY chip issued from the year they opened.
 
Probably.
Should be easy enough with a little time and searching. They're definitely around. If you go down that road and still need a few by the time the convention comes around, hit me up and I can look for them. Doubt it will be much of an issue finding them.
