Poker mgr gave me the dark blue.
He said they were destroying them. He told why but I did not write id down.

I assumed:
That was at the time they had caught two poker players, one taking the chips and running them back in higher buy-in tourney's, and one chip collector.
Both were barred from the casino.
The poker player was a big named player.
The chip collector got re-instated.
Could be the reason they were remaking them.
