Andy, You are correct in your description of Satellite Sam. He was a real hustler.

Chuck, The Hardway Sam chip could very well have been made by Boreland ( he issued your Pussycat A GO Go chips) or it could have been made by Nevada Dice Co (Now Bud Jones).

Jim, I now remember Hardway Sam from poker games. Allan Myers thinks "Keno" was his cat. Although I remember Sam, I don't think I have ever seen the chip before. I will try to find out if HS is still alive.
Thanks to all.
