When I traded for this chip it was in a 2X2 labeled, DJ Venus-The Cove-Gulfport, MS. I knew from prior research that DJ Venus was an illegal operator in the Gulfport/Biloxi area. I also know not to believe what is written on 2X2's. I sent for the Mason Card.

If you read my Biloxi articles on Chequers, you will know who Pip Poulos is. I emailed him.
Here is his reply:
Good to hear from you.I knew Jack very well. He had the craps at ROMEO'S Beach club.Later he was the boss at the Raven club.The Raven was the club that all the old operators had a piece of.I WILL TELL YOU all about it when I talk to you
I would rather not tell you over this thing.Jack and I WERE GOOD FRIENDS .
So are DJ and I But Jack and DJ never did any business as far as Iknow.
Later RIP
The DJ chips were more than likely used in both Romeo's and The Raven. Rip still has some of his initial chips that he used in 5 different joints.
