I just realized live Canadian $1 chips only cost $0.75 USD. Might be time to take a road trip up north?

Buncha red stocks in there... Interesting...

Can almost build a mixed set for relabel with red, white, and blue chips harvested in casinos for under $1usd each...

I recognized the Casino Halifax chip from a mile away. First time playing live poker was there in (maybe 2004 or 2005).
Friends and I took a road trip there. After a few beer and no luck on the slots, I ran the last $200 that I had to my name up to $400 at $5/$10 FL. (they didn't spread NL at the time) No regrets. Still have the chip pictured on the top left.

I was so confused why the chips were sticking together. A few people were like "magnets". Later I realized it was a combination of sticky and flat Bud Jones with a slight center recess created suction. Oh, those were the days.

Very nice. The Boulevard in BC is now The Hard Rock. Wow, those Great Canadian ones sure bring back memories!
Were these acquired on personal visits?

No. Most of these I overpayed on eBay.
Glad to see they're bringing back some good memories for you guys.

My friend John Horne deals at Red Shores. Do you know him?

I believe so. Stocky fella. Likes football. Around 40. Married. That describes a lot of people I spose. Salt n pepper hair.

If so, he played at a few of our homegames but I don't think he was into how deep it got.

Sounds like him. Say hello from Moose next time you are at his table.

Nice collection. I have a "Casinos of Winnipeg" $1 Bud Jones chip you can have if you want. PM me your address if you want and i'll send it no charge.

Not sure if this is the right topic to ask this but does anyone know what type of chip the casino Niagara's are?

 

[200 Motels]

Shit! This thread bump reminded me that I was at the casino tonight and didn't get you a chip. Be patient with me.

Regarding the above chip, could be a Bud Jones or one of those Gemaco chips?

RTP plastic junk.

No worries.

I forgot about these two. They're from two traveling charity casinos in Ontario from the 90s I believe.

Snagged your loonie tonight. That and the NB chip should be in the mail Monday.

I've played with these many times, I'm pretty sure they are R.T. Plastics of Nevada

Totally missed your post. Looking forward to it arriving. Thanks again.

Big thanks to @itchio22 for the Winnipeg chip.

Found this straggler hiding among some other chips. Another traveling charity casino in Ontario from the 90s.

I like that. Black, grey, white chips do it for me.
