I agree with you, Archie. In addition to "honoring" our club, I imagine that the main reason that a casino would issue a chip is to get foot traffic to their establishment. If the number of chips released is relatively small, and if all of the chips are gone before most members are in town, what good is it for the casino? In addition, the casino will probably be labeled as "Chipper Unfriendly", or just plain stupid.
