Thanks Ngaire...but you are right....that's a lot of trouble. I am taking the advice above and making up my own "package" of chips. I do know that on some cruise lines you can "buy" a casino chip package where you pay in advance just as you would for a bottle of sail-away wine or champagne, and they deliver a certificate to your stateroom. I guess RSSC doesn't have a package like that. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
