Casinos gave many one ouncers away over the years to "card members". It's been a while since the "giveaway" days but those sure were fun to get and always appreciated. I see a lot of them as well. The many larger bars and rounds were often gifts to those playing $5 slots or video poker ($25 per hand). Some were sold in their gift shops on the Casino grounds.

I used to have a fair number of the casino slot tokens and other gamming tokens. They got hot for a while so sold them. If they have dollar amounts on them they came from slots. This is my favorite and the only one I kept.

I could use a Vegas Vic, bar.
Binion also issued some very nice rounds. Had a set in an NGC multi holder.
I like those larger rounds.
I have a few bars that you don't see often
5 ounce Silver city casino bar.
I have a collection of casino poker chips.... I focused on those with the silver center.... Cheers, RickO
Love that Silver City Bar. Any idea who minted it?
U.S.S.C. Maybe?

I had a small pile of casino chip silver middles I got from my local B&M. Swapped them all for JM bars at the last ANA in Atlanta.
cool silver! Message me if selling any of it.
Not a clue who made it, but it does have a the look of a U.S.S.C.
Another one you don't see often
