Indications are that there is an active casino on Tinian Island. I gleaned the following information from a post on ChipTalk.net (by Midnight Rose) where she was looking for a manufacture ID on this chip:

Rose advised that a member of HPT (another on-line poker enthusiast discussion site) had given her the chip. Rose also posted:

"This is all I know about the casino, from what I could gather from their website: Tinian Dynasty Hotel & Casino is in Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands (a small island north of Guam) and is open 24 hours a day. The casino's gaming space features 250 gaming machines and thirty-seven table and poker games. The property has six restaurants and a hotel with 402 rooms."

Is anyone else familiar with this casino and do we know who makes the chip?

Here is a link to the full discussion on ChipTalk.net, where others suggest that perhaps the chip was made by Dolphin, and some commentary from at least one person who has been there.
