Hello fellow chippers, again some news from Belgium. Recently I found, after some research the following chips. (look at scan, it quite large but good quality).
In early 1993, there used to be a Casino in Port El Kantaoui, Tunisia (near Sousse) in a high quality hotel (owned by a Tunisian) but the Casino was run by Germans. Due to some problems they lost their license. The license is was given by the Tourisme Board. The casino had about 50 slotmachines, 2 Black Jack tables, 2 Stud Tables and 6 roulettes.
A Belgian casino group went for the license. They trained 50 croupiers/dealers refurbished the gamingroom and ordered NEW CHIPS.
The chips are in DT (Dinar Tunisia) in six denominations. At the very last moment the deal fell trough and the project abandoned. So the chips were NEVER used. But are nice to see and for the Chipco collector nice to have. I have several sets available (but as you understand the higher the denomination, the amount made was less and less). But still avaiable at a low price. If you are interested just send me an email. (even Chipco does not have these)
Now I am stopping to look for new finds untill after the Convention, untill I see again something that I can not pass by......
Kind regards from Belgium
