"Paulson is licensed by the state of Nevada to make chips"

I don't think so.

As far as I know the only gaming license you need as a distributor in NV is if you make gaming devises such as roulette wheels or Big 6 wheels.
Paul-Son and BJ both gave up that license when B&G took over.
I don't think any distributor in Nv has a gaming license at this time. If you want a roulette wheel make a call to England.
