Re: People collect casino chips wtf?
Oh yeah, collecting tourney chips is common practice, even amoungst the pros. Apparently Men The Master has "collected" thousands! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: People collect casino chips wtf?
Well Jim collecting the chips is probably a lot cheaper than having a gambling addiction, losing the chips, going on monkey tilt then losing even more.
Plus, they can cash in the chips at a later date. No offense Jim, I like you. But it is amusing that you'd find it so amazing when you've lost so much gambling. |

Re: People collect casino chips wtf?
99% of my poker playing has been online, so I think in terms of numbers, my table and account balance, rather than a physical chip stack. I have sat in a live PLO game on precisely two occasions; I did first get into poker through a friend's home game, and after that played the £25-£50 buy-in hold'em games at a poker club, but that was a long time ago. So I'm not too familiar with chips - although from the times I have played live, I understand that some of the fun of the game is having an increasing stack in front of you and fiddling around with them!

Re: People collect casino chips wtf?
I collect $1 chips from every casino I step foot in. I spent the better part of a day walking the entire strip in Vegas just to walk into every casino to check them all out. It sounds stupid to a lot of folks, but most hobby's are kinda dumb if you think about it. Started at Mandalay Bay and walked all the way down to Circus, Circus, then crossed the street and came back. I felt it the next day.
I have a display case that I mount them in that hangs on the wall next to my computer. It makes a great conversation piece. I bought the frame here: Chip Displays I don't collect the special edition chips or chips from casinos that I haven't been to...just the ones i visit. |

Re: People collect casino chips wtf?
Yeah, the chips make great souveniers. I always keep a $5 chip or $2 or $3 chip from every poker room I visit, then I throw them in my suitcase. Sometimes at the end of the trip, the craps table made me go busto, but I have like 20 chips in my suitcase.
