There is no card room at the HR Atlantic City and they won’t sell you chips at the cage. This was literally 2 separate 4 hour endeavors with a good friend of mine on opening day of HR AC.
Several trips back and fourth to the parking garage to unload our pockets once they were full. The opportunity to not only get mint but also uncirculated chips was that day. Those chips came straight out of the dealers racks and into my hands 5, sometimes 10 at a time.
The Hard Rock AC used to be the Taj Mahal AC. When the Borgata opened up in 2003, all the local pros started playing over there but the easy money to be made remained over at the Taj. I spent hundreds of hours playing in that card room in the early and mid 2000s. When the HR redid the entire place and opened up, I just had to be there for old times sake to get my hands on those new beauties.
If you’ve never experienced the thrill of a harvest, give it a try sometime, it will enrich your chipping soul.
