Prop casino mystery solved!!??

I had listed a post a while back asking for an i.d. for this chip:

Ryan R. (R-7853) first suggested that they might be from the now cancelled TV show "dr. vegas" starring Rob Lowe.

The show was not well received. It was filmed at the Green Valley Ranch. Ten episodes were filmed, but only five were shown on TV, leaving few scans out there. Here is the only scan of casino chips from "dr. vegas" that I could find:

This scan does not appear to show the chip. However, I have no idea of the context of the scan - so I couldn't make a determination from that particular picture.

Then, Mike Levesque suggested the chips were also used in the TV show “Bones”:

The specific episode being:

Mike sent me a link to that episode, and I was able to capture this scan:

Look at the chips at the top center of the screen. They look like the "mystery" chip. Solved! No!!

When you check the imbd.com "trivia" of the "Bones" episode, it says:

IMO, these chips were from the TV show “dr.vegas”, then subsequently used by “Bones”. Similar tp the "Las Vegas" Montecito chips being used by "Knight Rider" and "Monk".

Ryan R. gets the chip as a “finder’s fee”, but I owe a big thanks to Mike L. for the additional info.

Ryan, please email me.
