into this hobby for the monetary reward, you will sometimes come up short. I truly enjoy collecting them. I always like to get a bargain, this way I can buy another chip. I guess something I was thinking about is kinda like this: Hard Rock, for example, will put out on the average 1500 $5.00 chips when they release a new chip. THEY have to figure that at LEAST 500 never even see the tables. So, we have at least $2,500.00 of the Hard Rocks money that they pretty much bank on. Knowing they have to keep that in reserve, making interest. I was kinda trying to guess how much we all have. $1,000,000+. Maybe I have too much time on my hand, lol. Have a good night.
