IMHO, I am glad that the Hard Rock puts out chips, same with the Palms, Four Queens and the Opera House.

Everybody seems to have a gripe on how the programs are run (except for the Palms of course). In fact running a chip program would be a job that I would dread, having people call me and whine all day because they did not get chips would really suck.

I think we should be happy that casinos are supplying the collectors that want chips. If you choose not to collect HR or other chips that is your choice.

This is just one opinion from a person that does not actively collect Hard Rock chips.
