Are these in use anymore, or can you at least get a comp at a Casino?

Is it a bic it item? Totally useless? Maybe someone is creative with them, idk. Anyone?

Good question!

I do know that many casino chips must be redeemed by a certain date, after which, they become obsolete, but I don't know if that applies to gaming tokens.

It is possible that $1 slot machines at Harrah's will still take them. You might want to contact Harrah's Casino Marketing Department and ask them about it.

Next time I go to Reno, I'm gonna have to take some with me! I don't have many but if they're worth a free meal, I'll take it!

 

There are currently a limited number of casino's That have coin in/coin out slots. If they have a redeem by date that's when they expire. Most only have a date they were put into service. they generally were redeemable only at the casino and location on the token. he maintenance costs for a casino to handle the tokens is high compared to the paper ticket or club cards pay outs. there are a number of the smaller casinos that have the token machines, Downtown Vegas. That are still in use in 2019. If you have a large number of them I would contact the named casino to see what their policy is.
The prices on flea bay are way out of sight. Locally (southeast Michigan) they are going for about $1.00/$2.00 for older ones and less in bulk buys.
Currently I have about 350 slot tokens in all denominations including from foreign and cruise ship ones.
Here is the collectors group http://www.ccgtcc.com/

 

Nearly all casinos re-design their game chips/tokens often to prevent counterfeiting and other types of misuse - they were designed as temporary cash equivalents to be used in house and exchanged for cash when departing the casino/city - old chips are most likely expired or invalid, but you can always ask casino management about specifics.

 

You might first try and post them on line for sale. Who knows what collectors are out there. People collect everything nowadays.
