It used to be that way.. not so sure now since they went to electronic credits instead of coinage on slot machines. I think they still use halves at blackjack or baccarat tables. I recall they used to have huge coin counting machines on sight and I have turned in boxes of halves at Lake Tahoe before but that was 2003 era.

Cash them in at the cashier/cage in the casino.. Took 1 box of dimes & 200 halves last weekend to Harrahs in North Carolina. Cash in / bills out..good luck. Doug :icon_thumleft:

If you are looking to spend them, then its the same as everywhere else...

1) Go to a store.
2) Select item.
3) pay for items with halves.

;D


I can't speak to AC, but if you want to gamble them in Vegas, I believe there may still be some casinos downtown which take half dollars in their slot/video poker machines (skip the strip all Ticket In Ticket Out). There were some the last time I was there, but that was about 4 years ago.

I didn't realize they would still cash out coin at Cherokee. I use to search the half dollar machines for silver then dump them. Then they went to all paper.

It is all paper. Just an easy dump. Doug
