"Figure with the number of chips a casino will order on a regular basis Paul-son gives the casino a better price. Say .50 ."

I have ordered well over 250 different LE's for several different casinos. I have ordered entire racks for 2 casinos including 175,000 chips for a grand opening later this year. Also all CCGTCC convention chips and poker tournament chips for the last two years.
None were bought at the low prices you are quoteing.
