Shown up...but there is a guy I know who has a box of various Tahoe Village chips. All metal die inserts.
He got them from a guy who passed away. That guy knew Bill Foster (Foster’s Big Horn... Rio Vista, Ca) and got them directly from Foster.
Bill Foster had an interest in the The Tahoe Village. Bill Foster along with some Stockton gamblers bought the place
“Babe” Arata
Joe Gianelli
Dominic Batilina
And a few others.....

The story I heard was Bill Foster actually invested much more than any of the other guys and got swindled out of a few million . (The $$ amount could of been exaggerated.. maybe a few $100K, but I heard millions) And eventually....Babe Arata’s Golden Gate Club in Stockton gets kind of burned down.🤫

These following chips are 100% from Rio Vista...I would bet pretty much anything on it..
