I only have an older Chip Rack XV and this chip is shown as Harrah's Reno (page 127, N7509). I originally found them in an early edition of James' book. It is posted in the Chip Guide under Harrah's Reno Roulettes - last entry. There has been some discussion about the correct attribution - a photo of a stacks of roulettes that included some known Harvey's chips and some of the 3 leaf Clover chips seemed to suggest they were from Harvey's. I first found some Red 3 Leaf Clover chips mixed in with a bunch of George's Gateway chips at a flea market in Orovillle in the 1990's. There were only a few of the roulette chips - less than 10 - and a bunch (couple of boxes) of George's $5 chips - both the SqSqRec and the Hub mold (defaced). I always thought they were originally used in Reno and then at Tahoe when Harrah's first opened. I just recently found these new colors and they were mixed in with the same kind of Harvey's roulettes as shown in the above mentioned photo. What isn't clear is if the photo is of an active roulette table or just a training table using old chips of mixed origin. We may never know?
