Has been snowing here for 12+ hours with a couple of more hours perdicted before it stops, but the mail person at least made it as far as my mail box. Received the monthly newsletter from Shooting Star casino (Mahnomen, Minnesota), which among other things had the following information in it:

Introducing Blackjack Win Card!
We've made learning to play blackjack eaiser! If you are (a) casino guest who walks up to the table, watches the exciting, fast paced, high-energy activity for awhile - and then turns away becuase you don't know how to play or don't want to slow down the action - you don't have to miss out on the fun anymore. Purchase a Win Card for $10, you will receive $10 in casino chips, plus $5 in casin omatch play coupons. One per person. Stop at Players Club for information and validation of a Win Flier.

No indication if the chips being sold were standard chips or NCV value chips as used in the Nevada programs.

If you are near the casino, and not snow bound, a report would be appreaciated.
