Torrey, the answers to your questions have been a mystery for 16 years.

I flew to Las Vegas at least once a month and played on that table every month for the 12 months it was on the casino floor.

The jetons and plaques were loaded onto the table every evening. They were stored in what could best be described as a footlocker on wheels. It was a nightly ritual where armed guards would wheel the footlocker to the table, and pit and table personnel would stack and spread jetons and plaques around the outside of the roulette wheel. That ritual was fun to watch and drew a crowd every night. When the game ended each evening, the jetons and plaques were loaded back into the footlocker and wheeled back to the cage.

The table itself was unique in that it was the only French roulette table in Las Vegas, but it wasn't unique to the Paris Las Vegas. It was the exact same table that was used at the MGM Grand in the late 80's. The game was different from other single zero roulette available in Las Vegas because it had in prison or en prison in affect for even/odd and red/black outside bets when the ball landed on zero. You didn't lose those bets when zero hit. They stayed there for the next spin. That added feature reduced the overall house odds on the game to about 1.32%. The table was attended to by two or three croupiers and had its own pit person as it was somewhat a high roller game. The croupiers placed your bets for you instead of a table full of people reaching over each other to place their own bets. The direction of the wheel spin and the ball spin reversed with every spin, pretty much eliminating the possibility of a croupier developing a "signature" in his or her ball release pattern.

As far as I know, there has never been a redemption notice for the Paris Las Vegas French roulette jetons and plaques. There has been much speculation that the table, and jetons and plaques, are still stored somewhere at the Paris or Bally's. While lamenting the loss of that game while playing regular single zero roulette at the Paris about month after the table disappeared, with a croupier who worked the French wheel and knew me from that game, the croupier told me I could buy the table and the jetons and plaques for about $10,000. I didn't have the money to do that so I didn't pursue it any further to see if he was telling me the truth. It sure would have been nice if I had the cash at the time, and he was telling me the truth! We may never know what happened to those beautiful jetons and plaques, or the table....
