Actual Caesars Chips in Iron Man? (1 Viewer)

[PlaidDragon]

Was watching the original iron man over the weekend and noticed early on in the show that it appears Tony is playing craps at Caesars.

My question: are these actual Caesar's $5000 cheques? If so, I suppose "borrowing" what looks like 55 x $5000 chips is likely cheaper than commissioning an entire faux set visavis like Rounders did.

Here's a shot of some of the others at the same table in the film:

It'd been quite a while since I watched the original so I forgot this scene even existed. lol

Yup, they are. And I believe those are real $25000 chips in the last picture too.

Sponsorships and Screen Time seen by an audience that may not be the typical TV commercial watcher. Just like product placing Pepsi, Dodge, Reese Pieces, etc...in TV/Film/etc it would make sense that Caesar's could have had a similar piece of action in the Iron Man film. Screened in and out of the scenes with chip counts this scene would be totally viable and require less setup/changeover from the regular casino floor for the shot.
