Every LIR (LIT?) table that I have seen uses standard house chips and tokens. Like has been said, it is just another table game. My suspicion is that it is just like any slot or VP game in that there is a company, (Shufflemaster? or is it Mikohn?) like IGT or Bally's for slots and VP, that manufacture all the equipment, tables etc for the game and lease them to casinos as a set. The table isn't a standard table. It has lights and sensors mounted in the table and utillizes a shuffling machine that not only shuffles the cards but spits them out in their individual hands. The dealer then just takes the stacks and puts them in front of each player, and the dealer and discards the unused cards for those positions where there is not a player. Then there is the system for managing the side bets. There is a sensor in the table at each position that detects if the side bet ($1) has been played and activates that option for those players. When the dealer starts the game and pushes a button the lights light up for those players that played the side bet letting the dealer know that that player has bet the extra dollar. The dealer then removes the $1 tokens. I don't know what else is done through this system but I have some vague racallection that the system could actually anticipate or validate if a player actually had a high winning hand. Are some cards marked in some way that the shuffler knows or can detect if they have been dealt? I seem to recall for example that with all casino decks of cards, Aces and 10s are printed different from other number cards, (larger? bolder?) different corners, logos next to the number..., (the backs are all the same) that can be detected in Peek(?) sensors or mirrors. Maybe the Let It Ride system is tracking high cards when they are dealt. I don't know, I could be mistaken or have imagined that.

Anyways, Like I said they all (at least the ones that I have seen or played) use standard $5 house chips (3) and $1 Tokens (1). I have seen some Let It Ride chips out there and I might actually have one somewhere that were given out at conventions or by salesmen who were trying to sell (lease) the tables to the casinos. I have also heard that there are some special tournement chips as well. I seem to recall that those may have all but been discontinued in their use.

Every casino I have played in has at least 1 of these tables. Unless, with expansion, it has changed, The Orleans has (1) table located in the main part of the casino right next to the Roulette and between there and the Blackjack tables. I have been a couple places, I think on the strip or downtown, (Golden Nugget?) where they might have had (2) or (3)tables.
