kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 7:08 pm I have before here in Reno, however, they have limits now on how much you can cash in. Some casinos here will only redeem a full coin bucket while others have max limits per visit, like $250. Since a lot of these casinos are using electronic ticketing, they don't have the coin counting machines readily available. Report this Post to the Staff

tgauchsin Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 7:53 pm We were headed to Vegas next week and I thought about taking my penny dump to the penny slots. Unfortunately I found out penny slots do not take pennies. Report this Post to the Staff
CWS Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 3:42 pm Halves are still used at most poker tables (ie Hold'em) where they may need to divide a hand between 2 or more players. Whenever I leave with winnings I always try to cash out in half dollar rolls. I only learned recently that many places have coin wrapping and counting machines so the silver in these places is most likely very close to nil. That being said I'll still continue getting rolls with my winnings... Report this Post to the Staff
DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 4:51 pm I spent some time in casino's and I agree coins are virtually a thing of the past. The half dollars on black jack are to pay out blackjack on odd abouts like $15 and in that instance they are very often thrown back to the dealer as a tip so they dont need so many of them really. Here in the UK it is barely worth roll searching (because there is no silver and very few interesting coins to look for...though I need to search 50p peices for a 2008 britania reverse that I still havent found in my change, if you have one feel free to send it to me :P) but we have fruit machines in pubs and also betting shops have roulette and black jack machines which take coins but payout a ticket (which can be exchanged for cash) you can load up the betting machines and hardly play them and then take the ticket to the desk and hey presto...lat time I did that I doubled my investment (way better than a coinstar!)

Owassokie Pillar of the Community United States 622 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 5:10 pm I know that most casino's are TITO now but as mentioned, most still have use for half dollars. I was hoping someone would reply and say they have experience with casinos that are have a coin counter available to costumers. OO Report this Post to the Staff
