"BTW I still have a lot of resentment for the Will Espin chip too. And I managed to get plenty of them. It's not so much the chip or being able to get them as it is the way they are distributed."

BriaN; You are entitiled to your resentment as you put it. However, as long as the casinos are callling the shots on when and how their chip programs are going to be run.... including distribution .... there isn't much anyone in the hobby is going to do to change things in the industry. I'm sure that you would object to "outsiders" telling your family how to run your electrical business.

I'll repeat my suggestion made in an earlier thread. If a significant number of chippers are as upset about these things as they say they are on this bulletin board, then they should take the time to sit down and write letters to the offending casino President expressing their displeasure. Just my own opersonal opinion .... and I have personally done that on several occassions in the past. I have also filed official complaints with the Casino Control Commission right on the casino floor WHEN the offending practice was committed... and still followed up with a written complaint to the casino President.
