Todd works for a casino and casinos are in business to make money. In order for casinos to make money they have to get people into the casino. Might be a ploy to get people to go to his casino to look for the chip and while they are there they will spend money. If true, pretty slick .

On the other side of the realm of possibilities, if no one knew of a release and no one has the chip or has seen the chip, then maybe the chip doesn't exist and we have all been had by an early April Fool's joke . If so, GOOD ONE!
