These are the only known chips to have been issued by UK casinos to commemorate the Millennium, an areas which attracts a lot of collectors. It is believed that only the Westcliff chip was used in general play, existing on the tables for several months before being withdrawn.

The Tower Casinos chip was certainly available at the Reading Sporting Club (now a Stanley Casino following the takeover of Tower Casinos) but use has not been verified at other locations. Bought at the tables (but not for general play) the chip could be taken to the cashiers desk where a small hole could be bored to enable the chip to be used as a keyring!

There is also at least one variant of the Grosvenor token which was given to staff, and has 'staff' embossed on the front. See the complete Connoisseur Casino chip listings.
