<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1530526, member: 24633"]The casinos pretty much stick to their schedule of releases with only a few exceptions because it makes their inventory records easier to handle. Naturally, if a whale wanted them or a long-time customer, they wouldn't make any bones about it. They will also provide the sets for some of the local chip dealers because their internet listings are just an additional form of free advertising for the casinos. </p><p><br /></p><p>In 2001, I suggested to the Riviera a design for the 25th Anniversary of the BCA Pool Championships. It was a take-off on "2001: A Space Odyssey" with pool balls as planets. I also encouraged them to produce a $25 commemorative chip in addition to the normal $5 commem because of the 25th Anniversary. They were a little skeptical about a $25 chip selling, so they only made 225 of it. They sold out within 3 hours of the release......that is......except for the 15 chips they gave to me......10 - $5 & 5 - $25. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
