casino loses about $1,000,000 a year in chips. Found it hard to believe, but if Circus Circus had to keep replenishing its stock to the tune of $10,000 a month, that would make it at least $120,000 a year. Factor in a Good Exaggeration Value to make the rumor fly, and you've got the million. Perhaps that's why casinos went with "boring" designs on their chips - R for Riviera, Lion for MGM, etc. - folks less likely to hoard them. On the other hand, if a casino's going to put Girls Girls Girls on their chips - what do they expect will happen to them?!
