Las Vegas casinos restrict poker chip redemption to their own properties
Major Las Vegas casino operators began limiting poker chip redemptions to their own properties in mid-July, with The Venetian introducing the change on 16 July and Caesars, MGM and Wynn following on 17 July. The Nevada Gaming Control Board said the policy was an industry decision, not a regulator-imposed rule; it applies to poker chips, while chips from other table games remain outside the restriction.
Operators must account for poker chips being redeemable only within their own properties or, in some cases, their own chains.
