Thanks for the response Gene. From your sharing of your knowledge, I'd assume the Aladdin would have an idea of how or with whom the $5000 chip in question might have left the casino. The reason I asked about entry of the chip into play was because there were three or four times when I was playing the French wheel at the Paris that a guy would walk up and throw one or two or three $5000 chips onto the felt to buy into the game. It didn't take me very long to find out this guy was a crowned prince of an OPEC country. If I knew who he was, so did the pit! DUH!!! I get it!

Thanks again!

Bob
