>>Why should the casino not do it. They are guranteed he will buy all the chips. If i was a casino I would do it.

I agree, Its a good deal for the casino. That doesn't mean its a good deal for the hobby. If you say its OK then I expect that you will also say its fine when the Hard Rock puts out a new release. Actually if you remember many people were upset with Rene because they accused him of buying out the whole Harrah's March Madness release (which he denied -- and I believe him).
