Dumping at casinos.

[corky569]

I have hand sorted about 200.00 so far, and am going to buy a ryedale. I figure it should pay for itself after sorting and selling 2500.00 worth. I was worried about dumping all those zincs, on a whim I called two local casinos,(i live in reno) first one said 10% charge unless I gamble a lot, second on said no problem, no fee, no limit! Sweet no more hand rolling. We'll have to see if they mean no limit! Thanks to everyone on here for a lot of info!

You can only get so much in their buckets.
Maybe about 3 trips to the car to get rid of what you've got.
There are a few here that pull it off.

You my friend have found the best kept secret in sorting.

I live close to an casino that has recently gone coinless. But they kept the machines around and will still service customers who bother to bring their change to the casino. However most patrons do not know of this service, are visitors, or like 90% of the population do not care about coins.

They require the denomations to remain separate because the machines are from the old days of gambling. Anyone who has gambled in a coin casino knows that the 'Cage' or the place to refund your chips or coins knows that there is a De la Rue (i think) that they used to dump nickels, quarters, halves, and dollar coins/token in (stand wagers for slots). Well they still have those and only accept those coins. They bought cheap crap sorters for the dimes and pennies- I think it has $25 penny bags vs. $50.

Anyways even though they went coinless halves are used in poker and the coins are used in general for day to day operations, eps. the ticket in/ticket out machines where you feed the ticket and get your money back often with coins.

I haven been doing this for a year now and they could care less. I only bring back nickels and halves cause pennies take too long, dimes might be mis-counted, and quarters I dont sort. I can bring $500 in halves or nickels as a average per trip.

Its an excellent way to rid of your coins quickly for cash, fee free. Also it drains the halves out of the system as they stay in the casino- most people dont try to take the halves out.

Also its a good place to sort if you can still get coin from the casino- always found 40%. But I was cut off quite quickly after doing this at my casino.

So I had my dad drop off 2 small zippered bank bags at one of the"no limit" casinos. After the first bag the lady asked if the other bag was pennies too. Of course it was. So she says we don't usually do that many pennies. Final total 26.83, so much for no limit! Oh well I've got plenty more to try.

Both the casinos in my area 45 mile radius accept unrolled coin. Both request that the coin be brought in clear plastic ziplock bags. Casinos in the Indianapolis area are hurting and need customers bringing in $$$, even if it is pennies.
