Casino closed - money gone: 40-year-old Playboy chips refused to be cashed out in the United States
A story with chips from Playboy
In the state of New Jersey, a rather rare case occurred: a man bought almost 400 chips from the Playboy casino at an online auction, which closed back in 1984. He tried to cash them out in the amount of $59,500, but received a harsh refusal - both from the casino and from the court.
Where did these chips come from?
After the closure of the Playboy casino, according to the rules, all remaining game chips had to be destroyed. They were handed over to a specialized company, but, as it turned out, one of the employees decided to play by the rules - he grabbed several boxes of chips and left them in a safe deposit box.
Decades later, this man went bankrupt, and all his property - including that very cell - was put up for auction. The new owner who bought the "lot" turned out to be very enterprising and decided that the old chips could be turned into cash.
Why was cashing refused
The casino has not existed for a long time, but it's not just that. The court pointed out that the chips were not obtained in the course of fair play, but in fact were stolen. Therefore, it is impossible to cash them out. The New Jersey Court of Appeals upheld this decision and put an end to the story, which, it would seem, could have become the plot for the film.



Spartan113 Informative, thanks to the author! Now I will know that this has happened. The lesson for the future is to check everything three times.


MisterM1mba One thing is clear – if the software is buggy, then it is a casino problem. Why should a player suffer?



Yukiiihira The coefficient for the passage of the Villa is almost 10! I took it purely for fun, you never know, suddenly like Barca once.


o0oSoyao0o Well, soon there will be not only skyscrapers in Dubai, but also Book of Ra slot machines.



Smoolbeansam Do I think it's getting harder and harder to understand the rules in these new slots? It used to be simple - you spin the reels and look at the lines. And now there are some pedestals, cascades, respins... I'm completely confused! And what is volatility? Can anyone explain it in simple terms?



Bukas Another conspiracy theory... I've been playing CT for over a year now, and I haven't noticed anything like that. The author is just an offended loser who drained all the money and is now trying to justify his loss. I personally won x7500 on Pachinko last month and no one tweaked anything! If they really did, Evolution would have been closed long ago and the license would have been taken away.
The most striking thing is that the dude actually kept them for decades in a safe deposit box. For what?
In America, they even chase chips in court. We would have played preference with them in the yard for a long time.
Honestly? I feel a little sorry for him. Although he knew that the chips were from a closed casino. What did he hope for?
I would just hang such chips in a frame. History, not money.
The man screwed up epicly. I bought souvenirs, but I thought that I had found gold. Classic.
