Re: Jackpot, Nevada grin Small town day 23

Another real nice old small town Nevada location. My first trip there was in 1990, stopped for the night on the way to Yellowstone. Stayed at Cactus Pete's it was just a motel with a small casino. From then on I always stayed at Cactus Pete's, especially after my first trip they always comped me RFB . After they expanded and built their new tower it was really nice. My last trip up there was about 10 years ago. I went there looking to buy some antique slot machines at the Casino 93 just across the street from Cactus Pete's. I wanted to buy everthing they had, but I only managed to get 3 Mills High top machines. So it was a worthwhile trip.

I always liked most of the older chips from the Jackpot Casinos. Especially the CJ inlayed chips from the Casino 93 and Cactus Pete's. On a trip about 20 years ago I managed to get a few older chips from Casino 93. I knew the casino manager for a few years and I always bugged him about getting some of his older chips. He finally broke down and gave me 2 $1 chips and a complete 7 pc. set of first issue roulette chips. Next time I saw him I brought him a case of Jack Danials. That's kind of the way we did business back in the day.
