FDIC insurance doesn't work if the US government collapses. Neither does cash. This isn't a political statement, it's pointing out that there literally is no risk-free way to save money. Not gold, not salt, not flocks of goats, not cash, not FDIC insured banks, not casino chips.
That isn't to say the risks are the same. People in many countries prefer US currency because it is more stable than local currency. Publicly-traded casinos will probably be more stable than privately-owned casinos.
Choose your risk carefully.
