at least I don't think I ve seen them on the Chipboard.

I ventured over to Port Richey for an outing on the SunCruz. I was hoping to get some Sea Diamond chips, because SunCruz is now using the old Sea Diamond, old Monte Carlo boat from this port.

Imagine my surprise when I found all new chips and tokens on the boat, with one exception. $1, $2.50, $5 and $25 "Port Richey Casino" chips were on the tables. New "Port Richey Casino" tokens were in the $.25 and $1 slot machines. The $100 chips were from the Sea Diamond. There were no slots cards on board.

I wonder if the new chips have anything to do with the SunCruz bankruptcy? Can we expect new chips on the the other boats in the SunCruz fleet?

On a related note, Stardancer Cruises has relocated the El Dorado boat to Port Richey. This boat has been all around the country, from Florida to New York and many points in between. It had been sailing earlier in the year from Fernandina Beach (Jacksonville). Does anyone know if a new boat is now in Fernandina Beach?

I have a few $1 Port Richey Casino chips to trade. I am interested in recent $1 new releases from around the country. E-mail me with any trade proposals.
