Contributed by: Terry Shaffer
Observation: The images are of the same chip, showing both sides. Note that the placements of the inlays, in relationship to the inserts, are symmetrical, with the inserts being shifted (rotated) 60°. Inlays appear at 12, 4 and 8 on the left image and 2, 6 and 10 on the right image. This was not a random thing. Indications are, that the entire rack of N4393's are this way. Doing this is a purposeful action at the factory and requires more time and precision by the operators. It also resulted in an increased cost to the casino.
