Some cool looking chips from Finland...

Just got these in a trade. Sorry, no traders.

Front and back are shown of three chips. Bottom two are same on both sides.

Here is a little history of these chips (from the person who sent them to me)...

11th Casino RAY - Finland's first (and still the only) casino was opened by Raha-automaattiyhdistys (RAY) and is Finland’s Slot Machine Association, on 12/2/1991. The casino was named "Casino RAY". This chip is a commemorative 11th year anniversary chip.

Grand Casino Helsinki - Casino RAY was moved to a new bigger location 4/1/2004 and it was renamed as "Grand Casino Helsinki". This chips is a commemorative 2 years anniversary chip.

red RAY 10 - We have also some table games (mainly roulette and blackjack) operated by RAY in bars and night clubs. They have very low limits ($1 to $20) and the rules really suck (dealer takes all ties at blackjack etc.). This chip is used there and it's worth 10FIM (Finnish Mark, ~$2.10). It was used before launching EURO as a our currency in 2002.

orange RAY €1 - Like a red RAY 10 chip. This is used nowadays at bars and night clubs.

paf €1 - This chip is used at Casino Arkipelag in Åland, a small island between Sweden and Finland. Åland is an autonomous and demilitarised part of Finland. Ålands Penningautomatförening (PAF) Åland’s Slot Machine Association, operates also in every Baltic Sea ferries (cruising between Finland, Sweden and Estonia).
