I have two different colors. However, my creamier chip has the casino name spelled with an "E". Full inlays on both sides. Mine came from Peter several years ago when he called this to my attention. I suspect the ROYALE version is a reorder to correct the error in spelling. I believe the correct name of the resort is Casino Royale. The Royal spelling also appeared on other denominations of ElephantAndCrown chips from this place, including the $2.50 where the reorder has the correct spelling and insert colors changed from red to grey.
However, this place is on the Dutch side of the island where Royal should really be spelled koninklijk . In French, it is often spelled Royale, as in membre de la famille royale.
