Bob,
You make some good points. The Tropicana with Todd Moyer in charge of the chip program started the release of $25's with only 100 made. For those who do not know, Todd Moyer is also the person who did the Hard Rock $25 Cinco de Mayo with only 100 made. Todd just left the Palace Station where we now have the low release numbers for chips. It will be interesting to see if the low numbers continue where Todd lands next. Now Todd was the first, but others have picked up on the idea of putting out VERY low numbers. Mandalay Bay with their release of only 50 $100's for the Lewis/Tua fight. The Riviera for their release of only 50 $100's for their 46th Anniversary. O'Sheas for their low releases of a number of chips. I love Allan & all he has done for the hobby, but I do feel it is wrong to just single out Mark for low releases of chips. It is happening at quite a few places. I know Mark is still getting a lot of heat for the Pai Gow chips & this might just be part of that. Mark screwed up, I know it, HE knows it & quite a few other people know it. Just like anyone else he deserves a second chance. If he does something else I will be the FIRST to rake him over the coals for it. Until then I say it's time to move on. Andy - Las Vegas
