If I'm missing any, I'd like to hear from someone as I collect these. Have always wondered the rationale for larger chips for Baccarat. Not everyone does it, as Trop, Hilton, Flamingo and others have used small chips marked for the game in the past. Harrahs still uses a smaller $20 chip, but still unique to the game. I can only assue it's part of adding "class" to the game, the same reason the huge plaques are used in some places.
I had collected chips for a couple of years and had played BJ for 25 years before I realized there were oversize chips. Saw one sticking out of a BJ rack one time and asked about it. Decided this was an interesting specialty to collect. By the way, I've never played the game, as it's about as dumb a pastime as playing slot machines. No player decisions other than placing your bet!
