Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 Las Vegas Churches accept gambling chips THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO THOSE OF YOU NOT LIVING IN LAS VEGAS, BUT THERE ARE MORE CATHOLIC CHURCHES THAN CASINOS.. NOT SURPRISINGLY, SOME WORSHIPERS AT SUNDAY SERVICES WILL GIVE CASINO CHIPS RATHER THAN CASH WHEN THE BASKET IS PASSED. SINCE THEY GET CHIPS FROM MANY DIFFERENT CASINOS, THE CHURCHES HAVE DEVISED A METHOD TO COLLECT THE OFFERINGS. THE CHURCHES SEND ALL THEIR COLLECTED CHIPS TO A NEARBY FRANCISCAN MONASTERY FOR SORTING AND THEN THE CHIPS ARE TAKEN TO THE CASINOS OF ORIGIN AND CASHED IN. THIS IS DONE BY THE CHIP MONKS. Quote

jainen Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 >>worshipers at Sunday services will give casino chips<< Not just Catholics. Baptists get those chips too, but since they are opposed to gambling they just grind them up instead of going back to the casinos. They are finishing a new rec hall with chip board. Quote
Bart Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 And if the chips are returnd to the casino by a sailor they are chips ahoy. Quote
