Every casino that I am aware of uses the black tiles for the game of pai gow tiles, Is there a casino in the USA that actually uses the white tiles instead?

Though it stretches the definition of "casino", some of the card clubs in Oakland used to use them. I played with them several times, and one advantage seemed to be that they were harder to read if inadvertently exposed for a moment--thus, a bit more secure for the player examining his hand while deciding how to set it. I also though they looked kind of cool.
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.---George Bernard Shaw
