Title: Las Vegas
Post by: Dragonlord85 on September 12, 2010, 02:44:42 pm

I TRULY DID NOT KNOW THIS!       
   
 


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.


 


 
YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT COMING DID YOU?



GOTCHA!
Now it's your turn to tag someone else!
Have a great day

That is a good one!!  ;D You are right, I didn't see that one comming!  8)
 
There is (or was) some truth to that! I rember my dad paying for gas at a station with chips he had from a casino in Las Vegas years ago. Also it used to be (but no longer is) any casino would accept chips from any other casino.
Back in the day (as they say) in Las Vegas, Chips were as good as gold  (or even money) almost any place in the city.
They also had slot machines between the pumps at the gas stations. Last time I was there, there were slots in the air terminal too!
