I believe that Atlantic City is still under a requirement that they MUST have a "practice" session (with Fun Nite chips and bills) before they can be allowed to open and use real chips and cash.

Nevada does not have such a requierment and the casino operators are so sophisticated with opening a casino that they no longer need the warm-up. The Palazzo , which just opened in Las Vegas had no pre-opening rehersals (that I am aware of). The Wynn is the last place I am aware of that had rehersals (for invited guests and employees) and they only used fake currency.

However, Roolife... I would be interested in seeing scans of your chips, if you have them. And, I moved your thread over here to the Collector's Corner.

I don't know any new casinos openning in AC, but if every new casino that opens in AC have to have this "practice" session, wouldn't that mean Paulson is still making Fun Nites chips for these new casinos? Are these "practice" session also by invitations only?

I've seen other Fun Nite chips that's not H&C, e.g. scroll and diecard mold. Are those from AC?
