Hi Steve,

$25 house chips are definitely needed to color up in $5 limit games. $100 aren't. That's why you haven't, and won't see very many made. Cripple Creek has had 57 casinos open since gaming became legal in October 1991. 16 or 17 currently are operating. Of those 57 casinos, four (five if you count Buffalo Billy's) have issued $100 chips. Two of them actually had the chips on the tables, maybe three, but I haven't played poker at the Midnight Rose in atleast a year and they did have a $100 Chipco made for their recent rerack.

The Midnight Rose, Brass Ass, and JP McGills issued $100 millennium chips in a set of three, limited edition of 100 made, and they GAVE them to folks on their highrollers slot club lists. They GAVE AWAY $100 chips to people who don't normally collect chips! I've been trying to find these at the cages of the respective casinos incase someone cashed one in, and they aren't there! Giving away $100 chips to people that don't collect chips doesn't look like a greedy move to me.

I know of one other Colorado $100 chip, from the RichMan in Black Hawk, and you can't buy it at the casino! It is awarded to slot players who win $8000 in a calender year!

I know of ONE $25 only LE issued by a Colorado casino, and that was Black Hawk Station's Mardi Gras two years ago. Those were still available a month later (which is the last time I checked), might still be available!

There really aren't enough heads-up comparisons here Steve. AC lost me, and I'm sure, many others...
