Bill Fong ran the New China Club '52 - '71. A whirlwind of ideas, he had the New China Club in the Reno papers often as well as reaching Asian and Black gamers into California. Indeed this Ruby Roberts Keno Queen $5 was one of the first commemorative chips, issued in 1958. Jessie Owens was the parade marshall for that event and Joe Louis co-hosted the golf tourney a few years later. Big contests, scholarships, new asian games and probably a zillion gambling stories. Well, shoot, lets flatten the place and bring in some gravel to go with the nice fence.

Too many places turn out this way, the Mapes, the Big Meadow Hotel, guess they got a lot of gravel in Nevada. Anybody got any pictures of The New China Club back in the day?
