Hey Bob; That's what makes roulette collecting so challenging. (No hate mail please.... let's all live and let live). Anybody can plunk down their money and obtain house chips! MGM Grand and Monte Carlo each have at least 11 or more roulette tables.... certainly up to the letter "K". Taj Mahal in A.C. has had probably 18 roulette tables.... and I know of at least four collectors who have virtually every roulette chip in their collection from Taj Mahal (except for the high roller table). It's quite challenging to get them all, but with the help of other roulette collectors and trading back and forth, it's not an impossibility. Bally's Park Place in A.C. now has 17 roulette tables since Wild Wild West opened; 7 colors on each table. The several A.C. roulette collectors I trade with need only two dozen colors to go to be complete at Bally's. The current roulette sets from the eleven other casinos in town have all been completed by several roulette chip collectors. That's an awful lot of combined roulette play to accomplish that feat. The now obsolete roulettes are toughest. I saw over the weekend that Bob Mera has a bid in his 30 day auction in excess of $400 for a single Brighton roulette...... now that's "preserving gaming history". Yep, its' whole 'nother world out here! Archie
