Anyone ever use TOKENS? (1 Viewer)

Now, I already know I’m crazy but I’m not sure if it’s like a FOX…or like a regular crazy person.

I’ve been thinking about using the old $1 metal casino slot tokens in my game just because they are loud and remind me of pirate booty.

Good/bad idea?

We would hate that because they are loud and don't fit the other chips. Do what you want but I'd just pick up quarters and use those before I introduce $1s as coins.

I think using metal tokens will slow the game down. You won't be able to stack them. Everyone's stacks will be sloppy. It will take too long to get stack counts.

Some casinos in Vegas used silver dollars at the tables in the 1960s. They looked awesome.

Definitely loud, but they seem to be the same size as a chip. I suppose they are a little slippery though in comparison.

I’ve never even considered it, mostly because I assume they don’t stack well.
I do miss them though. I’ve never been much of a slots player. But when those things came pouring out of a machine, and you had a giant cup / mini bucket to hold them? That was fun. Now they give you a receipt.

Don't do it!

Edit- they are smaller

Don't do it!

The more I think about it…I think you’re probably right…

Thickness as well? Thats what I meant, I was picturing stack sizes being wildly different and ending up with a slippery puddle of $1s.

One of my favorite cash games in college we used quarters. We played 25¢ ante with a $15 bet-raise limit and everyone brought $10 worth of quarters and some cash to play.

Don't underestimate the smell of coins ending up on your hands after 4-5 hours worth of this. But it was a super fun game.

I love poker chips now, but that memory will stick with me forever.

Maybe in a limit game? Still too heavy. Will not stack. Perhaps acceptable in a pinch or as a novelty.

Absolutely not in a big bet game. I can't imagine trying to sort different sized coins of roughly the same color. No edge art to help. Estimating stack/pot size could be an issue.

Want to test it out anyway? Just play a session with pocket change. I did that in my youth - it was fine for the 16 year-old me. See what you think.

I wouldn't do it in my own games -=- DrStrange
