Mystery Solved - Arawak Hotel

(Images courtesy of the ChipGuide)

These $25 and $100 chips were previously attributed to a number of locations in the Caribbean and most recently to Jamaica. Further research, based on an ad I ran across from 1973, found the location of this casino to be in Guadeloupe. I was able to confirm the location from my collection of Caribbean Travel Guides. The ChipGuide has been updated with the confirmed location.
