Current issue of BJ Confidential has my column written before the Lodge Grand Openings were withdrawn. There is a picture of 2 of the infamous chips. I am not sure where the pictures came from. Publisher Connie Olson is a friend to chippers. She took the Lodge problem National, even though it could cost her advertising $, somewhere along the line. BJC has a whole page on chips, every issue. BJC can be reached at bjletter@ix.netcom.com

Gaming Times is also out with the story. Bill scanned the whole set in the frame.

Thanks to both publications for making this issue known.

Issue 4 of Poker Digest is out this week. My column is on the Hacienda, early years. Free in most poker rooms.
