John; Good job beginning your roulette RR. Thank You! One question and a comment about the riverboat roulettes. There is a general perception that many of the riverboat roulettes can be purchased at the tables for .25¢ and .50¢ buy-ins. Is this so? The reason that I personally don't like to trade for riverboat roulettes is that roulettes from Atlantic City have been $1 miniumum buy-ins.... and have been for years now. Talking with other roulette collectors, they are reluctant to trade chips that cost $1 each to buy-in for chips that may have only cost .25¢ to .50¢ each. There are still a considerable number of Las Vegas casinos that also allow lower than $1 buy-ins at roulette tables. Might start a whole new controversial thread on this subject. If so, let's keep it to the monetary issue and not the harvesting issue which already has been beaten to death. Archie
