Steve is correct.....

There are four $2.50 "Dry Heat" chips and one $5 "Dry Heat" chip.

It is interesting to note that the first snapper ($2.50) put out by Harrah's Laughlin was a LE (3000) 10th Anniversary chip. After that, the four different "Dry Heat" snappers were issued, also as LE's (3000 each).

If you rack all five snappers, they are identical for color and inserts. I mention this because.....

One could consider all five of the snappers to be a "set" as they all share color, inserts, denomination, LE status and quantity issued.

One could also call the later four snappers and the one $5 chip a "set" because they all feature the slogan, "But it's a dry heat!" and the same skelaton character.

Anyway, last time I was there I stopped in for those snappers and got 21 various ones (at least one of each of the five). As I understand it, there is a plan to release 10 different chips, but that plan seems to have been modified with the release of the $5 "Dry Heat", which BTW can almost be called a River Run LE (3000) because it dipicts the skelaton character on a motorcycle. I'm sure that it's just a coincidence that the shooting at last year's River Run (between rival biker clubs) that left at least one dead biker at Harrah's was not a self-fullfilling prophecy of that $5 LE.?????
