Steve, The chip you show is a rather common chip from Paradise Island Casino. Large key chips were in play for many years & I believe I may have gotten a few the last time I was there. The inlay has remained the same for as long as I have been visiting the casino. They now, however, use a different inlay with a parrot being shown. I would have to research the sequence of this chip, but I know it has been around for many years. According to sources, the casino ordered thousands of new $1's just a short time ago with the same inlay even though the property is now known as Atlantis. I guess there is some sort of mystique to the Paradise Island name! As far as value is concerned, I would consider it a common chip & be guided accordingly. I hope this is of some help.
