Your right Rich, we went to the show, drove from LA, the NCV chips were not available on the tables although, if I remember correctly, Rene had promised Gene that they would be - did not buy the set.

I also do not like one person's monopolizing of chips and promise of money for the Club's Building Fund as an inducement to buy the chips - so we don't buy does type of chips either even if we collect that particular casino.

Concerning the "500" release rule, of course Rene is upset now there is plenty for everyone.
