Sounds like these are just standard slot tokens from a Bally's casino.

I cannot verify, but I can make a fair guess; perhaps it'll help your search.
It might help to post pics of them onto a host site (not here), and provide a
link.

Where from: Bally Corporation is a manufacturer of pinball, vending, and (more
importantly) slot machines. At one time, they had a casino in Reno - and in
Vegas, I believe.

As to whether they're 'worth anything': My guess: probably. If you can connect
them up with the casinos or the slot machines, even moreso likely. Token
collecting is alive and doing well, and casino-related tokens even moreso.

Good Luck with them.
