Re: Unusual Chips...Any Info ?
In Response To: Unusual Chips...Any Info ? ()

Tourney chips, 90's, probably never put into play, at least 100 of each made. The pre-remodel cleaning crews at the DI might finding stuff in the offices. The chips are new enough to have been run past Gaming if they were ever intended for table use, and there would be a record of that. If they weren't submitted to gaming, I'd value them at the same price I did as similar chips that I found in Colorado, $15 each.

My find of Elk Creek tourney chips never were submitted to CO Gaming. I think Chipco sent them along with the casino's original house rack just as a bonus during Elk Creek's second incarnation, and nobody knew what to do with them. The casino changed hands, changed name their name to Treasure Mountain, and the chips didn't surface until after Bronco Billy's bought the property to connect it to their casino and call that section Buffalo Billy's. All of the Elk Creek tourney chips were removed from casino offices by a cleaning crew prepping the building for the Buffalo Billy's remodeling. They sat in a drawer through one entire ownership change (near as I can figure) and surfaced when a total interior remodel was undertaken for Buffalo Billy's.

Bob ....FWIW, I got 12 orange, 50 lavender and 73 pink Elk Creek chips. 11 complete sets were sold at $15 per chip, I kept one set for myself.
