I have 15 total matches that picture the million dollar exhibit in some fashion. There are at least 47 different Binions match designs of all types if you include the old ones, plus the newer back-strikers.
I got most of the big covers from a collector who had some kind of catalog number marked on each of the varieties. There must be a catalog of casino match designs somewhere but I don't have a copy.
This nice contour match may be one of the earliest to show the display. Inside it is marked Joe W. Brown's Horseshoe, so it's not technically a Binions.
