Consumers can't buy casino chips from Paulson

Why not?

I've read a lot about chips recently, and I've seen this repeated several places. I guess its obvious why you can't buy, for example, the exact Bellagio or Mirage chips. But why can't the consumer buy the nearly exact chip (same composition, look, feel, etc.) and substitute a personalized label?

Is it really that easy for a consumer to turn the unlabeled "real" casino chip into something that passes off as a real Bellagio/Mirage etc. chip? Just curious.

the answer is "b/c paulson doesn't feel like it." security is an issue; not b/c it's easy to counterfeit, but b/c paulson wants to be able to tell casinos "security is absolute."

it's clear, though, from ten's paulson group buy, that paulson isn't much interested in making sales to us. they'll do it, but only if a,b,c,d,e, and f. ten's thing is going to get done, but it aint easy. they (paulson) just aren't interested in selling to home buyers, for whatever reasons.
