The story that James and Walter gave you were fair accounts. But it was not the whole story. When all of their extra chips were sold to dealers and collectors. It became apparent to Dennis that he could take orders for additional chips and he did. These chips were not cheap and I believe most orders were for 10 or less of each chip. He would be out one week and miraculously more would appear the next week. I know this for a fact as I was one of the original purchasers. What quantities they made is anyones guess. We were all happy to add some really cool chips to our collections for not a lot of money. When TRKing stopped selling these chips dealers started selling them for a slight premium. Over the years the prices escalated dramatically. Are they real? Of course they are real, they just didn’t come from the casino. And now you know the rest of the story.
