I think they had something like 12 tables, but like regular table chips, back up designs that were not in play existed. A recent example; the new Golden Nugget (formerly Trump Marina) just replaced all their yellow roulette chips with a lilac color.
Don't forget, Playboy had live gaming on all three floors. After the Atlantis closed, boxes of non-value roulette chips wound up in employees hands and sometimes appeared for sale at area yard sales and flea markets and I recall at least one antiques store in Ventnor had boxes of them on consignment. Many A.C. chippers will remember back in the day that Bob Mera and his half-brother, Michael, each sold boxes of Playboy and Atlantis roulettes at their two separate Boardwalk stores. I would help them diversify their stock by trading partial boxes of Playboy roulettes with their inventory of Playboy roulettes to offer a wider selection of roulettes. I purchased three boxes of Playboy roulettes at a yard sale on Massachusettes Avenue several years ago where the resident told me her kids played with them as playthings and didn't know they were collectible or had any value. I have not seen any full boxes for sale in quite awhile. I'm sure the ebay seller has multiple pieces of the PB roulette chips he is offering.
