Re: By golly it is! Bill Harrah;s dismay
In Response To: Re: By golly it is! ()

This is a "choken" that Harrah sold me (5) for face in 65 or 66 when Gaming disallowed further use because the chip kept falling out of the ring. He had spent hard cash to make it and save minting a $5 slot token.....decided to take out the $5 machine since it was not getting any play anyway. Don't forget only ladies waiting for pit players ever would spend a buck on slots in those days and having any machine over .50 was a waste of space......now that choken is worth over $200 each and all mine were traded away to Howard Herz and Dean Richmond in the 80's.......most were small greek key $5 in blue
