If you like this chip what else could you collect that is similar?

“The Chip Rack” lists four $7 chips, all from The Palms and w/Jack Daniels advertising. The one above is the 2004 chip & the one below is the 2005 chip. There are other Palms/Jack chips: $7 from 2003 & 2006, a $5 & $25 from 2004 and a Jimmy's Naughty Night NCV from 2006.
