Re: Louisiana Cruise Casino, Biloxi CIC's

Sorry, No.
I had 25 sets of them but they are all gone except the one in my collection.

Here is the information I posted when I had the chips. Wally has passed on. The rest of the rack exists. Wally had all of them. His wife used to be a S/M for me on the poker cruises but have not talked to her since Wally died.

The Louisiana Cruise Limited, Bud Jones coin Inlay chips came from a day cruise ship operating out of Biloxi, Ms. About 1988 to 1991. When dockside gaming was approved, the ship moved to Galveston. It also operated out of New Orleans at some point between 1980 and 1991.
Wally Taranto had the table game concession on the ship. Wally was a long time Vegas casino man. He was also involved with MS and LA illegal clubs as you will see in a future post. There is also a $1 chip that is in Mark Lighterman and Bob Ginberg’s Florida book. The $1 chip is still being used on a ship out of the Carolinas, I think. Wally sold off the $1 chips when he took over and replaced them with tokens. Mark and Bob had not seen these chips before the BFTP chip show in 1999.
When the ship moved to Galveston Wally took the coin inlays off the ship. Wally was a friend for many years. There are not many of the $100 chip when compared to the $5 and $25.
I got 25 sets from Wally in 1999.
