Where else can you find, under one name, the variety that the Playboy issues provide? There are Jetons, plaques, tokens, cheques, and currency with at least eight different mold patterns and in three different currencies originating from nine different casinos. Many of the chip types used haven’t even surfaced in collections yet. This is a still-evolving area of chip collecting.   Now, in addition to the chips used by Playboy at their casinos there are limited edition issues by the Hard Rock Café and the Palms Casino commemorating Playboy Magazine and some of their accomplishments.   You can’t walk into a store and purchase a complete set of Playboy cheques mounted in an attractive display holder. Many of these cheques are very rare, as in one or two known examples. If you want to collect the older Playboy cheques you’re going to have to do a little work.   When I started researching my book on Playboy it was amazing how many misconceptions and half truths there were about Playboy chips and casinos. Understandably so, information on the casinos and chips was scarce at best. In spite of having one of the world’s best-known trademarks, details of the Playboy Casinos have been, for the most part, a mystery. Published information about Playboy’s Casinos and the gaming pieces used was practically non-existant. First, to make things easy, from here on cheques, chips and tokens will be grouped into one phrase, cheques, unless further discrimination is called for. The difference between the three is, a cheque is a clay or plastic chip with a denomination or value written on it, the chip has no denomination. A plaque is a rectangular, high denomination cheque and a token is a metallic coin substitute.              denomination or value written on it, the chip has no denomination. A plaque is a rectangular, high denomination cheque and a token is a metallic coin substitute.  

Text Box: When I decided to try to buy all Playboy chips I could, I didn’t know that there were other collectors out there who already had them all.  I met him online and I must say after chatting with him my quest to be Playboy chip king was squashed.   THIS GUY IS THE “WISEMAN”   THOM STROH   THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO THEM BELOW IS THERE ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE
