* 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?
** Like the Mandalay Bay chips, this non-denominational chip was distributed only to high rollers (apparently as a collectible/give-away).
*** I became aware of this chip through a now closed eBay auction by Dave Joyce (linked below with a scan of the chip). By email, Dave advised me that this is the only denomination dragon issued by Rama.
