Gene,
I too was going to make the point about the guy being a poker dealer. In the games they had at the Castaways he never would have come across a $500 chip. Another point is that they had a Sports Book at the Castaways that took big action for it's size. I saw numerous $500 chips in action at the Sports Book & knew someone who layed off bets at the Castaways & held back chips instead of cashing them in. There is no doubt in my mind that the Castaways had more than a rack of $500's. Andy - Las Vegas
