* I have provided the number of each of these chips based on information previously seen in eBay ads and on the chip board. I have also seen other numbers, though these totals seem most authoritative. Can anyone confirm these numbers (Gene?).
** Like the Mandalay Bay chips, this non-denominational chip was distributed only to high rollers (apparently as a collectible/give-away).
Acknowledgements --- In addition to the people mentioned in my previous post, thanks to Jim Noll for providing information re and attached scan of the Viejas dragon set. Also to Gene Trimble, Dick Covington and Larry Pang for confirming that the HP dragon set has been cancelled due to manufacturing problems at Chipco.
