Just got in two days ago from a 30 day trip to Australia in an effort to get to the last 3 casinos in that country that I had not been too. Long story short, a bird strike taking off of Dallas Fort Worth delayed the trip by 2 days and as a result, did not make it to the 1st of the 3 casinos.

Anyway, YES, these chips were used at the dealer school in New Jersey. And, YES, these chips were ALSO used at the Rural Developement Corp out of North Dakota.

When charity gaming was first authorized in North Dakota, charities were hard pressed to come up with chips to run there games and a wide variety of chips, even those used at other casinos, generics and what ever else they could get there hands on, were used. Back then, and even now, there was and is very little oversight by the state as to what is actually used on the tables and even now there is NO review process. There are STILL generic chips in used on some of the paddle wheel tables (think a mix of roulette but with a bix six wheel).

What appears to have happened is that the charity in North Dakota purchased some or all of the chips that were in used by the dealer school in New Jersey. Either that, or they had another order using the scame logo as those that had been in used. In so much as both operations are now closed, it is difficult which chips were used were. However, it is highly unlike that a $2 chip with the RDC logo on it would have been in use at the dealer school.

Can I prove any of this? No, I can't. But there are far too many RDC chips floating around North Dakota for them to NOT have been used there.

Take a look at the denominated RDC chips that WERE in use at the charity casino in North Dakota along with the RDC chips that bear no denomination and let me know if you can tell the difference between the two.....
