Actually, Armin says Ridgecrest but Staeffler, Eastman, and Kallman all say it was Gilroy and that it never opened. I wonder if they planned to open in Gilroy but never managed it but then later used the chips in Ridgecrest. The two towns are a long way apart - Gilroy is just below SF and Ridgecrest is over in the Mojave.
I hope everyone can make it to the Nor Cal Casino Collectibles Show this Friday and Saturday in Roseville. I'll be there with this Reno Centennial Decanter set and a bunch of other hard to find go with things.
