each casino has 3 levels of profits. if you win casual at every level you receive a bonus. If you make a large amount from one shot and check the last winning marker, you will not receive the bonuses (drinks and stuff) and just get banned.
in primm i think the vance casino has the lowest winnings. then the freeside casino near the van graffs (i don't remember right now it's name), an lastly the strip casinos. with many thousands of caps
The sierra madre casino let's you reach 10k chips and if you cash them as pre war money, back in NV you can sell them for caps.
otherwise i'm stuck with sierra madre chips and i'll try to buy stuff from the vendor an resell it at the NV traders (for profit i hope).
the regulary bonus chips will suffice to buy needed chems from the vendor in the bunker.
