Hi Steve, Since I am the culprit who traded some of these to you, I had better try and give you some detail as to their location.

The Shilo Inn is in Newport, Oregon, a coastal city about 22 miles south of Lincoln City which is just a little south of the Washington border. [It is the present home of the Kieko, the "Free Willy Whale" ] The Inn is part of a chain of West Coast motels. This particular motel has (2) two blackjack table leased out to a real estate broker (or salesman.) I was just lucky enough to just happen on the "casino" looking for someplace else as it is not advertised anywhere that I know of.

The Shodakai Indian Casino is in Ukiah, California. About 100 miles (plus or minus) north of San Francisco. No big deal or story about it.

The Gold rush card Room is in Grass Valley, California, A small community about 25 miles or so north of Sacramento in what is known as the "Gold Country." The history goes back to the Gold Rush days of 1849 and is near Nevada City, California. A long history revolves around that area but will not bore anyone that is not interested with any more detail.

I THINK the Sho Ka wah Indian Casino is in Clear Lake, California, close to the Shodakai. Again, it no big deal of a Casino.

If you look at "TOPS" web site you will see the information about the CFC chip. If I remember correctly, he also has a scan and ID of the chip.

I don't know about Lucky Lil's, but I sure would like to have one.

Hope this helps.

Paul
