NOTES — Introduced on one of two roulette tables for a passenger who had asked the casino manager he wanted $10,000 buy-in using this chip and the $1,000 value chip. My wife and I were the only ones playing at the time. He approached us and said "here is $300 each in $25 chips and he was going to play four spins of the wheel for us to give up our seats. " So, this Diamond Level Player made only four rolls covering everything imaginably on the tablet. He cashed in $40,000. He tipped he dealer $2,000. Never saw him again after that lucky run.
