The top green card is not a slot card San Reno casino has none. It is a entrance card/pass. You must sign a 3 page agreement, all in Italian, and have picture taken, with passport to get card and into casino. Coat and tie required. Very old casino, many slots and table games WSOP plays a tour. here. I got coin cups w/ name, handy wipes and chips & Jetons & tokens plus this card from this casino.

Casino Pass card is used as a slot card, and same card good at many Barriere casinos in France. Picked up in Cannes, also used in Menton Barriere casino. I got coin cups handy-wipes, tokens, chips from these casinos.

Cash card is a slot card From the wonderful Grand casino Lucerne, located at lake Lucerne, Switzerland. The card has a chip in it, and you put cash on the card, then any winnings are added to card when you cash out. You must go to cashier to get your funds. I also picked up handy-wipes, matches, ash tray, chips, post card, tokens, slot cup, and other paper casino pamphlets. This is a fantastic casino right on lake, great staff.

Casino Divenzia, in Venice, Italy is the hardest slot card to get in all of Europe. They only issue to people who were born in Italy, and show a special government issued card verifying this. I talked to a few people asking for a blank card, no, no no. then on the way out I say a new lady at slot desk and told her I was a collector from the USA, gave my best smile, and slip a 10 euro bill = $13.00 on the counter and she said don't say anything and gave me a blank card. I looked for 2 hrs. in the machines for a card left behind, no luck, for some reason very few players 10% were even using a card. I also, played Poker pro on the large poker game, won a few $ cashed in and they took card. I begged for a blank card w/ no $ on it, cashier said no then I asked for mgr. and he finally said OK give him one. I picked up chips, handy-wipes, and some paper flyers. Very nasty people in this casino, But I did get this one impossible to get slot card.

Spiel Card is from the Austria Innsbruck casino, it also has a chip, and works like the slot card at the Grand casino Lucerne. I picked up chips, Jetsons, matches, ashtray, and handy-wipes.

Player plus card is from the wonderful Palm Beach casino in Cannes France. This was my favorite, Old but located on the beach, great staff, just a fantastic clean historic casino. Picked up the slot card picture on back, handy wipes, tokens, couldn't get chips or Jetsons tables not open till 8:30 pm couldn't purchase at cashier. Wanted to go back at night but ran out of time.
