Some Caribbean Chips from Convention

Here are 3 1/2 chips I picked up at the convention. The first is just a coin-inlay from a Bud Jones chip. AlbertR says its the remains from "Gran Hotel Convento" BudJones chips after burning. No complete chips are known to him, or listed in Archies book. Anyone have any more info? Where was this Puerto Rican casino?

Chip two is a new P.R. chip to me, the New Palace grey HCE with no inserts. I don't see it in Archies book.

The third HHR mold is very worn, but appears to say The Palace Hotel. Reverse is stamped $1.00. Again, not listed in Blacks, or known previously to Rollins. Color is beige, not yellow, which resulted from my enhancement of the scan.

The chip on the right is, I believe, also a Caribbean chip but I neglected to note which island. Kind of think it might have been Antigua. Casino name not found in The Gaming Table. Who can tell me where this is from? Local currency chip... NAF.

No extras of any of these, but Albert may have a few left. He's in San Juan, and advertises in the club magazine.
