September 2011 Update

Three new chips have been added -

1. Grand Casino - Hinckley, MN
My aunt and uncle picked this one up for me while they were (hopefully) traveling through Hinckley. I hope they didn't purposely go there... no offense to all my blog readers from Hinckley.



2. North Star Resort and Casino - Bowler, WI
My parents picked this one up on a trip designed to go to Bowler. I don't know either.


3. Menominee Casino Bingo Hall - Keshena, WI
Same trip for mom and dad. Beats me.



What do all three of these chips have in common? I couldn't find any of the cities they are located in on a map. In fact, I had never even heard of these places until I read their names on the chips.

August 2011 Update

Three new chips have been added -

1. Barbary Coast 2000 "The Millennium."
Nothing special about this chip, but I think it gives me every $5 chip the BC pumped out before its' untimely closing. The Leprechaun on one side is a nice touch.



2. Oneida Casino - Green Bay, WI
One of my aunts brought this back for me. One of the few non-red $5 chips I have seen. Maybe the guy who runs the Oneida is color-blind?



3. Gun Lake Casino - Wayland, MI
Situated between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, this is Michigan's newest casino. A buddy picked it up for me while he was there for a bachelor party. This one is red, so at least they got that going for them.
