Why, AZ (Southwest of here) is were the Nation's (Tohono Oodam) third casino facility is located (slots-only). I imagine they have some vacant land out there. An unfortunate demise for the Paul-Son rack(s). Did I say "rack(s)"? In deed I did.

In Arizona, the gaming pact has a requirement for a back-up set of the higher denomination chips; at least $100's and above. Perhaps the $25's also, but I am not sure. I believe that the Desert Diamond handled this with a second set of Paul-Son chips, but that is simply conjecture. For all I know, it was satisfied by the previous Chipco rack, but I don't think that went to the $500.

So..... Perhaps they ordered two Chipco racks this time and will be destroying two Paul-Son racks, the back-ups of which have not been seen, let alone collected!

Thanks for the info on the $2!
