Hi Ed,
We have been trying to figure out what has happened to the AC LE releases the last couple of years. I believe there are two major factors causing the lack of new LE releases.

1. ALL of the casino employees who were chipper friendly and in charge of chip production i.e. Todd Moyer - Trump Marina and Chris Block - Showboat are no longer working in AC. Also, other chip friendly employees who are still working in other casinos have had their duties changed and are no longer influencial in chip production.

2. Also there is some sort of accounting procedures from the Casino Control Commission that requires the casinos to keep track of all LEs they have produced on a monthly basis. It seems like it is more trouble for the casinos to keep track of the various chips they have on site. Also there has to be some sort of related cost involved in accounting for all chips. So the less chips that are made the less chips they have to keep track of.

If anyone else has any other reasons for the lack of chip prodution - please let us know.
Take care,
