The best I can gather from info on the web the county allowed gaming in 1992, the hotel opened in 1995 and then he got approval for a card room (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3656/is_199507/ai_n8721704/). Then this one indicates there was a casino a couple of months after the date on the chip (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3656/is_199603/ai_n8743989/).
