I was told by the coin dealer that he thought the casino redeems them for around the spot value of silver ($13), but I did not try so am not sure. Evidently the CalNeva has several of these machines, some with older ones. I would sure like to know how the machine dispenses these things. It just kind of shakes and makes this low squaking noise, the spits it out the bottom. Perhaps it is like the old Anchor gaming machines with a hopper but these machines are brand new.
