Russian Chips !

Here are a group of very hard to get Russian chips that I was able to procure. One of the people that works for me, being born and raised in Russia was able to get his sister (who still lives there) to send me chips. Her husband is a part time "professional" Black Jack player and goes into some of the very seedy casinos. According to Constantine, these are still run by the mafia there, and quite often cheat the customers. I guess the casinos themselves there are very often disgusting, filthy places that women still wouldn't dare go into.

Unfortunately, Constantine didn't tell his sister I only wanted small denomination chips.

You'll see there are some interesting things on the chips, as the Russian casinos love themes. Sound likes Vegas! Notice the chips from Barnual that say Denver CO, USA. Isnt that a riot !! I guess the theme inside the casino isan american theme as well.

The Pirate chips from "Treasure Island" are in Piastres !! Just like in the pirate days. The denomination is actually in US Dollars.

Here is the translations of the chips. Top left and center chips: Treasure Island. Top right "Casino Esmerelda"

Bottom left and second from left: Casino Fortuna"

Bottom, 3rd from left and far right: Casino Barnual. Whats interesting is the yellow $50 chip.

I posted the treasure island chips before when I first got them, but I thought you would all enjoy seeing the entire group. I'm keeping the top row of chips, and selling the bottom row.
