... creation of chips, at the casino level, a "one man process" such that a single oblivious person could have created a "mistake" like this?

Is there an internal review & approval process of some kind by senior casino executives?

Would chip designs as a matter of course be submitted to the legal department for review?

Does gaming have any role in determining trademark infringement issues on chip releases? Even as simple a role as asking, "do you have permission to use this?"?

Am I just too cynical?
