The casino own coins used to play slot machines instead of real coins. 

In the context of gambling and casinos, a "token" typically refers to a physical object, often made of plastic or metal, that represents a certain value or amount of money. Tokens are used in place of cash for various games and activities within a casino. Players exchange their cash for tokens at the casino's cashier or a token machine, and then use these tokens to place bets or participate in games, such as slot machines or table games.

Tokens serve several purposes:

1. Convenience: They simplify transactions, allowing players to easily manage their bets without handling cash.
2. Security: Using tokens can reduce the risk of theft or loss of cash within the casino environment.
3. Game Integrity: Tokens can help maintain the integrity of games by providing a standardized form of currency that is specific to the casino.

In some cases, the term "token" can also refer to promotional items or chips that are used for specific events or promotions within the casino.
