At the last gaming show Mikhon said there was chips in them. The table readers were reading them, so I guess they do. They did have some without chips that they let you have one per person. These chips are hard to get at the show. Mikhon watches them like a hawk. We have Mikhon at the Fiesta, and I managed to talk a salesman out of the ones you are showing. He said they had chips, but I guess it really does not matter. A chip is a chip, I don't cut it open.
