I saw a new sign in the window of liquor store here in Bozeman the other day. I finally had a few extra minutes to stop in and see about the "Live Poker". Luckily I did, as the owner of the table was there. TJ has been in the gaming here since 1973. First owning TJ's Bar & Lounge then ran the games in the Cat's Paw. I talked a minute and told him how I collect chips and would like a better look at what is on the table but didn't have time to play. He asked a few minutes later, "are you a collector?". I said "yes" that is why I am so interested to see those chips and if they have name on them. They were so worn it was impossible to tell and the table was packed with players. As I talked more about my crazy passion for chips he went in the back to find something. He came out with these 3 Lucky Lils and gave them to me. He then gave me a $5 off the table and told me just dont bring it back into the game. I thanked him and left. I get to the car and cant remember what he told me about the 3 variants of Lucky Lils so back in with pen and paper in hand this time. The Lucky Lils with no location is fro Great Falls. With "of Montana" from Butte. and "Montana" only is Bozeman.
TJ then wants to show me more chips!!! He takes me into this back room and opens a safe and pulls out a worn partial rack of chips and finds what he thinks is the best marked T.J. $1.00 chip. I thumb through the chips while talking and find one perhaps a bit better so hand him one back, but he says just keep them both. Then we find a Montana Gold Dust $1.00, quite worn but of the great Horseheads right mold. He gives me that one too! Then tells me about all the old chips at home and the garage is packed with old junk. I let him know I do free garage cleaning and give him my new business card. Its probably just a bunch of old Vegas arodies in there.......

So theres how to get FREE chips!!!!!
