I was busy at the local casinos "stealing" chips from the tables.

Norm, Norm, Norm... I know you know better and I'm really too tired to debate right now. Maybe tomorrow?

The Regulation 12 is a directive for CASINO OPERATIONS and you can take it from there. I would have to read it, very carefully and see if it says anything about an individual, taking a token home. On the surface it only regulates casino operations.

In fact before we continue this, consider the following. We have no information from Gaming about the so called NEW regulations.

Until we see the new regulations, I'd say nothing has changed.

I have posted the current regulation which was adopted June 1987. (amended various dates, last I could see was Feb. 1994.) It's available in text on the page, PDF and as a DOC file, for anyone to read. Since Friday, 37 people have taken the time to actually read them.

The following comes from David Spragg, who initially posted the news message.

Stop reading the posts of tuesday, wednesday, thursday and concentrate on the newer ones. In fact dont even bother reading any of them.

4Q LE's are obsolete due to an internal decision by the new owners (as confirmed by email from Mark but for some reason not clearly posted).

Nothing else has changed.

Please... Wait for things to sort out.

I'm not sure, if WE are breaking any law, by taking home a chip for our collection. (I might be wrong) but the regulation clearly states what the casinos limitations are, how they may issue chips and tokens, what they may be used for, and how they are supposed to control them.

I will also make the offer that others have, to redeem any guilty chips, stolen from casinos, for face value.

Hope you had a good weekend.

The odd aside to all of this, is that if it's illegal for a casino to allow someone to take home a Gaming Token, then it's illegal for them to allow anyone to take home a Silver Strike. Pretty strange, isn't it?

Is this a Conundrum or a Paradox?
