Hi Andy; I should have shown the reverse side of the chip in my original post. To answer your specific question .... no, there is no indication of LE to 500 on the chip itself. That's the number I've been given by Trop casino employees who are in the know. However, the chips are serially numbered on the reverse, so any number above 500 would certainly disprove the number I've been provided with that I believe to be accurate.
