Hi Tim,
I believe it was right before the "Our Bar" convention promotion or just after. My guess would be either 1994 or 1995. It was right around that time frame. Janice had knee replacement surgery and I can remember Dr.Ariano looking at her knee at their home. Like me, he would go over to the O'Neals to discuss chips and pick up any pieces Janice and Gerry had for him. Gerry would probably remember better than me.My memory for dates is not very good.

To the best of my knowledge, the chip was never placed on the gaming tables.I must have gone back to the Fremont and checking at the cage, looking on the gaming tables etc a dozen or more times with no luck. I remember Gerry taking a huge scan back to the cage and being told "I have never seen that chip" by cage personel including the cage manager. Now 14 or 15 years later it still remains a mystery to me as to what happened. Hope this helps. Why may I ask do you have such an interest in this chip?

Jim
