Last Sunday at the A C Chip Club Meeting a fellow collector showed me a Gaming Guide from Trump Plaza for a Game called "71/2 - Siete Y Media". This was a short lived game that was put into play in the mid 1990s around the same time Red Dog and other odd ball card games were being offered by various Casinos. This game was only in use for a few days and was quickly removed when the Casino realized that the players actually had an advantage over the Casino. The other collector told me that this was an old Italian card game and a bunch of Italians came in from South Philly and took quite a bit of money from the Casino. When Trump Plaza realized the problem with the game it was quickly pulled from the Casino floor.
Has anyone else seen or heard of this game ?? Was it ever available in any other Casino ??
A scan of the Gaming Guide for this game is shown below. If anyone wants to copy this Guide for the Chip Guide feel free to do so.
Take care,
