Regulators find nothing redeemable in Riviera's Chippy Chips:
Jenna Jameson......Nikki Tyler....Heather Hunter
Chips ahoy!

Talk about a way to spice up an otherwise mundane $5 blackjack game. Casino
executives at the Riviera must have thought they were on to something, well,
busty when they decided to mint special chips to honor the planned appearances
of xxxx film stars Nikki Tyler, Jenna Jameson and Heather Hunter. The three xxxxx
acrobats were scheduled to star in the Riviera's X-rated "Crazy Girls Fantasy Revue"
during the Comdex convention this week, but they have since been replaced.

By reputation, Comdex attendees are an especially randy bunch of computer Geeks,
and their annual migration generates little cash in the casino but millions for topless
cabarets and nudie shows at local resorts.

In a never-ending effort to give the Comdexicans what they want, the Riviera decided
to produce a set of three xxxx gaming chips with the three top gals in the industry.
But the marketing mavens at the Riviera might have gone too far this time.
It appears the state Gaming Control Board thinks so.

After receiving word from a local church group that the casino had minted chips honoring
the chipees, Control Board Chief of Enforcement Keith Copher called a Riviera executive
in an attempt to get to the bottom of the issue. Casino companies commonly request to
have special commemorative chips printed of employees and celebrities.

Sure enough. Tyler, Jameson and Hunter were featured prominently, xxxx,on $5 Riviera chips.
Copher gently reminded management that such chips might mortify the image conscious casino
industry, which recently has been accused of catering to children by promoting cartoon-themed
slots such as Betty Boop and South Park.

Gaming Control's Copher says. "We were not aware that they were xxxx girls. When we were
told they weren't employees, we contacted the Riviera.

There have been quite often pictures of showgirls and employees printed on chips. We thought
this was something similar to that. "We believe this is not the sort of thing that's good for gaming's
image."

All remaining chips were removed from the tables as well as the casino cage, and promptly turned
over to the Gaming Control Board for destruction .............
