I've been reading the threads on the Sunset Station chips. Now this is coming strictly as an observer. I don't have one chip from Sunset Station in my collection and don't plan on acquiring any. But if I was upset over the way their Christmas chips were issued, I would not argue about it with Rene. My feeling is you can argue until you are blue in the face and you will accomplish nothing. I would contact Sunset Station's top management and express my dissatisfaction. After all it is Sunset Station whose name is on these chips. If after talking to Sunset Station I still didn't get satisfaction, I would contact the gaming authorities for the state of Nevada and register my complaint with them. From what I've read they are beginning to take an interest in how LE chips are handled and are trying to prevent scams etc. On the other hand, perhaps in talking to Sunset Station or the gaming authorities you'll find some extenuating circumstances that will make you feel this is actually being handled properly. If you do be sure and let us all know.
