"“WOW! Great find Robert! The 500 Club was one of Atlantic City's most famous night clubs .... well before legalized gaming came to town. It was frequented by the most influential people and featured top headliner entertainers for years.. The place was owned by Skinny D'Amato.... one of the most powerful politicians in Atlantic County. It was not a big secret that gambling was going on there. The secret has been... up till now... what did the chips look like that were in use there?
