Thanks for checking, Jim.

I checked with my wife and it turns out she brought the delivery in and put it with my cards, but didn't tell me.

Everything received timely and in good order.



Thank you.

Class, great cliffhanger and unexpected turn of action!
 
Lads, do you think those Harrah’s chips are leaded or not? I consider if my kid should play with them?
Definitely seem weighted, but would have to test them to confirm if they are weighted with lead or something else.

No need to risk it, just give the kid some cheap ceramics or newer Paulsons, etc.
 
@TheipRoom , I’m assuming they are all gone but any chance you still have a T100 Harrah’s Nola set hanging around? Those things are fire! I see the 100, 500, 1000 singles still available.

If not, is anybody willing to sell a T100 set? These chips are SWEET!
 
Any blue or Green dice left? I clicked on the Blue dice link and it said not available at this time. Thanks much.
 
Just for fun did those Harrah chips ever have $1 or $5 or $25 denominations when the casino was open, or did they only cater to high rollers (maybe it was $25/hand blackjack or $25/$25 poker or whatnot)

Yes, Harrah's New Orleans had $1, $2.50, $5 and $25 chips as well as the rest of the higher denominations. Your thinking that it was a "high roller" only casino is not 100% correct. It was a casino in a "tourist" area, and had higher limits than surrounding casinos. (Think Vegas strip table limts vs Downtown.)

So why are the lower value denominations not for sale?
Louisiana law requires that the casino that's shutting down destroy all the chips that were in play at the casino, which includes every denomination of the primary (main) set of chips.
The chips you see for sale here are the secondary (backup) set of chips that were never used. The secondary set for Harrah's New Orleans started at $100 and above, and that's why only these higher value chips are for sale.

What's nice is that this secondary set are still real casino chips from a real casino that were never used, so they are in mint condition.

Additional info: The primary set of chips have different spot colors than the secondary set to distinguish between the two.

Neat! Thanks for sharing. That explains why I see people using those New York chips as $25s instead of the primary 25s... hope people were able to harvest some before they were destroyed, these r cool chips.
