I spoke with Gamblers General store. They made both sets of Montecito chips. They dont know how they were used on the show but they made them for NBC. We all have only seen the older sets on TV. Not too sure why these were made other then maybe they didnt like the way they looked on TV or maybe used them in background shots???? Your guess is as good as mine... I posted the paper work the guy thats selling them on ebay in this tread. david Spragg says he bought these at the gamblers general store in the past but they were out of the back. Over runs or something and used them for other chips... Gamblers general says they never sold them to the public just NBC.

Thats it. all the rest is up to you to figure out. Bob H. is watching the Las Vegas shows again to look for them. maybe we will hear more later????
