Of course you are 100% correct in your response.
My request for club assistance meant:
A letter from the president of the CC&GTCC with our concerns. That is really all you can do. I know it will not do much good but it still needs to be done.

I will boycott, it will not help, but I will satisfy myself. I see this practice as a great harm to the hobby. Other chippers will have to do, what they have to do. I hope they keep in mind that they are teaching the casino's that this practice of double dipping on us, is OK.

Sorry gang, I just can't seem to leave this one alone. Think of the ramifications, if all chips were to cost you double face. Could you still afford to collect? I would move on.

I think I will order bumper stickers.

JUST SAY "NO" TO THE LODGE - SAVE THE HOBBY
