"I would hope that people are selecting the best chips and not what they think the best casino is, or by jurisdiction."

Peter; I would agree with you ... but such is not the case.

Not only do voters vote for specific casinos ... or specific geographical areas .... many on this message board are very familiar with previous email campaigns that were sent out by individuals to vote for specific chips.

In addition; unfortunately, many Associate members vote identical to their mate's or family member's ballot ... in fact some associate ballots are in the same handwriting as the regular member.
