I got ten or so of the purple $1 LH chips from a poker wheel in the 70s in the Lincoln Hotel. By then it was
called the Alpine Lodge. There was no live gambling by then, just a couple of slots. Blanche Olinger who
owned it when it was the Lincoln Hotel was murdered in one of the rooms. The place was later called the
Lucky Stiff bar. It later fell into disrepair and the entire side wall was bulging out. I'm sure the place has
been torn down by now.
