Do casinos still have change sorting machines? Will they convert lots of change to paper (or even a slot ticket to take to a cash machine) at no charge if you are a customer?

I see people bring in buckets of coins to Red Rock and get cash. I doubt they charge a fee. I have no idea what the policy is at other casinos.
Elis Island probably still has one. Sometimes they will even give you a small % in extra in free play when you take your receipt to the cage. At one time it was a sweet deal. at one time I bought bricks of quarters and cashed them in just to get the extra free play.
The Crash Helmet Crew strikes again.
Whatever that means. You deliver messages that are as corny as redietz'.Originally Posted by MaxPen
The reason you don't know what it means is because you are on the crew led by MendelFool. The Tard Brigade aka/Crash Helmet Crew has once again demonstrated there poor comprehensive and logic abilities with not being able to understand the value in buying $440 in play for $400. You yourself called it a sucker bet.Originally Posted by Rob.SingerWhatever that means. You deliver messages that are as corny as redietz'.Originally Posted by MaxPen

I carted a couple of large change bags to Ellis when they had their 10% free play bonus for that. In fact, Argentino went into fits that anyone would do such a thing. I don't think they are currently giving the bonus, but I think they still have the change machine. They put in new flooring and carpet in the casino area last spring, so the place looks a bit spiffier. Plus the coffee shop specials are solid.
I could be wrong, but at one time I think they were doing 20% in free play up to $400 worth for $480 in free play. If me and my GF went that was $160 in extra free play. I should have done it more often.Bricks of quarters are heavy. I did hit a Royal clearing the free play.Originally Posted by redietz
It was more about getting over on the casino than it was about the money.
I take my change a few times per year to Ellis Island. Always a good excuse for a great root beer.
Geez... if they still do that the +EV play is to buy rolls of quarters half dollars or dollars and cash them in. Will ha e to unroll them ofcourse.
I can't remember why I choose quarters over halves, I suspect it is from my experiences with halves always clogging and jamming up the old Brant machines more often than quarters. It only takes a few seconds to crack and release a roll of quarters.Originally Posted by SLaPiNFuNK
Casinos accept rolled coins.
I think when the other guys talk about a brick they are referring to a box of wrapped coins that you get from a bank. Casinos take these and probably prefer them.
Remember the boxes of nickels when nickels were worth more than face value?
By the way copper pennies (all before 1982, some 1982) have 1.8-cents of copper.

Places that have coin-droppers will obviously accept your coins. I'm not sure if they have to be "separated" or not. But if you have a bunch of quarters by themselves, then they'll definitely accept them.
I remember going to the bank one time to get a bunch of rolls of quarters to bring to Ellis Island for the 10% bonus. I walked in and was greeted by the greeter person dude, he asked me what I needed help with, I said I just want to turn paper cash into quarters -- is there a limit for how much I can do? He looked at me stupidly, and said there's no problem, no limit, this is a bank after all. I wanted to confirm, so I asked again, and again he told me not to worry, there's no limit. Okay, cool.
I knew I wanted to do the Ellis Island thing several times, at $400 max, I decided if I did it for 5 days, I should get $2k in quarters. No problem for a bank, right? Riiiight???
So I get to the front, tell the teller I wanted A LOT of quarters and wasn't sure if they could help me with that. She also clarified there was no limit. So I asked for $2,000 in quarters. She told me they don't have that much in quarters (so much for the "no limit" thing). I don't remember how much I ended up getting, but it was definitely above $400 and I went to EI later to claim my $440 in FP. I didn't realize how freaking HEAVY that many quarters would be. It was a real struggle getting them all to my car.
After all that, I said f*** this, it's not worth the $35 in EV or so to spend all this time doing all this nonsense.

Years ago I drove to Vegas with a friend who owned a laundromat.
I'm amazed my car made it. I'm also amazed that the valets brought out two clothing carts to carry the buckets (and I mean buckets) of quarters. This was before TITO and Caesars happily accepted the $30,000+ of quarters.
Sounds like a sad, pathetic, desperate way to pick up a few bucks. Wouldn’t it be easier to collect deposit bottles out of the garbage? Imagine going to the bank and making a fool of yourself, then dragging heavy pounds of quarters to a casino for $35.00 dollars.
Of course, the famous alcoholic AP Axel hits a royal with the free-play scraps. He always wins or won regardless the angle.
These are the type of moves one must make when banking on the results of casino gambling games for their and their families security and future. Oh, that’s right, the math says certain results will eventually exist. Yet, the math never says you’re guaranteed these results. You still have to a certain degree be lucky.
I need to get away from here again.
I just wanted a cheaper place than coin star to do it quick. The coin star vig sucks
My bank has a coin counter, and they charge no fee for processing coin.Originally Posted by SLaPiNFuNK
Check and see if your bank has one (they probably do) and go to the bank, not the casino.
What, Me Worry?
The self-serve line at Walmart accepts coin as payment for your groceries. When you run out of coins, you can use paper currency or switch payment type to a credit card.Originally Posted by SLaPiNFuNK
About 6 years ago, I was at a casino that had a CoinStar. I went to the cage to exchange 4 quarters for a dollar bill. The retarded attendant pointed to a sign stating that they don't exchange coins and told me about the machine. I countered back with "You want me to take 4 quarters to that rip off machine, be charged 7% and come back to you with a receipt for 93 cents???" She gave me the dollar bill.Originally Posted by SLaPiNFuNK
