Who can provide a picture of the biggest amount (in value) of Casino Chips?

I'll start us off with a baby 10k picture.

Wish you'd have asked that last week when I was in Vegas. Could have taken an over the shoulder shot at the high rollers table.

Were those chips "vaporised" ?

I had 20k worth of Gala Casino chips once.... but they weren't green £100 chips, they were £1000 chips. The dealer called them "biscuits", and said it was the first time in 5 years he'd seen them out of the cupboard. I'd hit 17 when doing 17 and neighbours by £50, with £100 on all 4 splits of 17. It repeated, then went 34, 14, so got the split, then 17 again.

Needless to say I spunked it all eventually.

Ah... the old biscuits!! Nice hit btw! Shame you did it all back, I know that feeling...



For some reason - some Galas have £500, others have £1000 - but they are both referred to as biscuits. Never understood it.

Is that some kind of calculator?? :wink:
Only joking m8. It's called being a compulsive gambler, Fruit machines are just a learning tool to get you hooked into gambling. I mean picture it, here you have a lad that's dedicated to beating the fruits, he's made his contacts, climbed upto the top end of the info ladder and put in the hours nailing the fruits, going into some of the shittest establishments this country has created, putting up with the biggest of dickhead landlords & locals with all those smarmy comments and "Your barred". All to complete his mission of earning thousands upon thousands of pounds from the fruits and not have the need to join the employment chain, only to spunk a load of it in the casinos later. Why??? Well because he can.

Spot on... it all started for me from doing 500/1000 machines in casinos and playing for P.R.

and when your PR pays as much as your £1000 jackpot, in some ways that's as bad as when the PR is costly, if not worse and before you know it, you're chasing and burning.

Mad that is, my mates try to drag me in casinos but not letting it happen!

There aren't many gamblers who are professional or strong willed enough to escape the casino. Once you've won and lost thosuands on a spin of the wheel or the turn of a card playing machines for £35 seems pointless.
