My wife and I went to the "Royal Resort Casino" in St. Kitts in 2009. Some people had asked me to see if they had roulette chips with different images on them.
I showed the floor boss pictures of a couple of these chips from the "Chip Guide", but he said, "What we have on the tables is all we have."
These were the only roulettes on the tables:
I was disappointed, as obviously someone had obtained other roulettes from there....
Went to an early dinner with my wife and decided to have a drink at the empty bar overlooking the casino. The "Royal Resort Casino" has a golf course associated with it, there must have been a celebrity golf tournament while we were there. After a while, the place started to quickly fill up with a huge amount of people that took over the entire bar area. I gave up my seat to the wife/girlfriend of one of the athletes, and I was in. Bartenders stopped asking for money, and people assumed I was with the crowd.
I wish I could tell you who the athletes were, but I only know boxers. At one point, a football player gave my wife his Super Bowl ring to try on.
I finally met a high level "boss" who was at the casino (I assume) because of the celebrity golf tournament players that had just arrived. I showed him the picture of the roulettes from caribbeanchipguide.com, and he said "Let me see what I can do." He walked away and I figured that was the end of it. About 20 minutes later, he told me to go to the cage and said, "They have what you want."
He apologized that he would have to charge me $1 per chip.
I was able to get three sets of 28 roulettes chips. Four tables (palm tree, monkey, pelican and lizard). Seven colors of each.
Sold two. Have one set left. Let me know if interested.
