Make you wonder if the Casinos that limit their cage purchase do it to create a frenzy and inflate the "taken" numbers. I see that it would force people to play at the tables to "harvest" what the cage wouldnt sell them. The Paris made it so dificult that I stopped buying all their LE's entirely. I think Casinos should support our club and collectors 100%. When The Hotel San Remo was near its end the cage wouldnt sell any at all and I went to the Crap Table and harvested about 40 $1.00 chips !! They werent too happy but if they had sold me 5 or 10 from the cage I would not have had to play for them. They actually shouted at me to color up as I quickly walked away ! We do help their bottom line, I heard to that the IRS is hip to the sales and makes them report a portion of the chips as income for tax purposes
