CHECK OUR FEEDBACK AND OTHER CHIP AUCTIONS. VISA & MC ACCEPTED WITH PAY PAL. GOOD LUCK
Actaully the MGM Detroit also had a $1 Baccarat chip... (Thanks Greg for the scan - the link is to your image on http://www.chipguide.com)
He probably forgot to mention it was a first for Las Vegas &/or Nevada...
I can't comment on how long they were on the tables - may be Andy Hughes can...
Regards,
Dick
