Here is what I believe caused the scarcity of Mirage Roulettes.

These chips came out either before Norm Clem and other active Vegas Roulette collectors really started "Harvesting" in a systematic fashion i.e getting every color from every table or the Casino table limits were higher than other Casinos or they just didn't get to them before they were taken off the tables.

I only have about 3 or 4 colors from each table in this Style of Plain Mold Roulette chips and none are from Norm Clem !! I have NONE of the Red chips from this series.

All styles of Mirage Roulettes are hard to come by - I have three styles of Roulette chips from the Mirage - 2 Plain Mold Styles and a 24 Line Style (Not including the Chipcos) and I HAVE ONLY ONE COMPLETE TABLE OF ANY OF THEM (Table B - 24 Lines) !!

I am also guessing that the older Styles of Roulette chips used at the Mirage may have been destroyed as I have never seen any quantities of Mirage Roulettes surface.

I believe these are Roulette chips that we may never get all of or anywhere near all of them - unless they are laying in the Casino vault and some how are released in the future, when and if the Mirage ever closes. We will have to wait patiently and see what happens.

Take care,
