This is a nice little place out in the Farm Country part of the Coachella Valley. I'd been here before and liked it, but not with my Nevada DL, so I got a new Slot Card. Choice of $10 in Slot Play or a $10 table voucher. I took the $10 voucher to the tables, and alas, no Pai Gow! I'd have to play blackjack. Oh, The Horror! Pushed the first hand, hit my 13 with a 7 against the dealers 10 up, they let the voucher ride, and won the second hand not hitting my 14 with the dealers 3 up! Dealer showed a deuce in the hole and drew 2 10's. Hello! - Back on top of my game again: Win One and Run. For all you big gamblers, not so fun just winning $20 when there might be a streak going, but for cheapskates like me, the discipline of "Never leave a table down, if you are ever up money at it." has kept me going strong in casinos for years. And living in Las Vegas, it's not like I can't find another game 5 miles down the street anytime I want. If I was a gambler, I'd have like to racked up the 50 points for the Metallic Card they were giving out on that day only. Took a few photos of the ad for it for the Card Collectors out there to know that there is something cool and perhaps a bit difficult to obtain, to be on the lookout for.

THE CHIP GUIDE GIVES NO CREDIT TO THE LUCKY LIL’S THAT WAS IN HOUSED AT A LOCATION WHERE T. J.’S WAS THE ROOM MANAGER OR OWNER. THIS LOCATION HAD A FEW SLOTS AND WAS CALLED LUCKY LIL’S. LATER THE WHOLE OPERATION MOVED AROUND THE CORNER TO WHAT IS NOW CALLED THE HIDEAWAY. SO NOW THAT I HAVE YOU ALL THOROUGHLY CONFUSED LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY EXPERIENCES WHILE I WAS IN THE LUCKY LIL’S IN BOZEMAN, MT.
I WALKED IN THE PLACE AND SAT DOWN IN THE ONLY OPEN CHAIR AVAILABLE AND COMMENCED TO PLAY IN A VERY SPIRITED HOLDEM GAME. I BELIEVE THEY ALSO PLAYED OMAHA HIGH AND TAHOE (3 CARD HOLDEM). THIS GAME WAS A LOT OF FUN, AND I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT. WHILE I WAS SORTING MY 3 VARIATIONS OF ONE DOLLAR CHIPS AND THE THREE VARIATIONS OF THE $5 CHIPS THE TALK GOT AROUND TO CHIP COLLECTING AND THEN THE MANAGER OF LUCKY LIL’S APPEARED. (T. J.)
THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 2 HOURS OR SO INTO THE GAME, T. J. CAME OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CASINO, WHERE APPARENTLY THERE WAS AN OFFICE, AND THE DEALER SAID HI T. J. HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THIS GUY IS A CHIP COLLECTOR FROM CALIFORNIA. T. J. SAID IS THAT RIGHT. C’MON OVER I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU, AND HE GAVE ME ONE OF HIS OLDER $5 CHIPS, THAT WAS MINT. I LOOKED AT THAT AND SAID, WOW; AND REACHED FOR MY WALLET, HE SAID NO CHARGE, JUST TAKE CARE OF IT. AND REMEMBER YOU CAN NOT CASH IT IN ANY WHERE AND THEN HE WINKED, AND SAID I GOTTA GO, IT WAS GOOD TO MEET YOU REGGIE.
THAT PRETTY MUCH MADE MY DAY, I HARVESTED A LOT OF CHIPS I NEEDED AND A FEW FOR TRADERS AND GOT AN HONEST GOODNESS COLLECTORS CHIP FROM T. J.
I WILL HAVE TO TRY TO GET THESE ADDRESSES AND DATES STRAIGHT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT CORRECT ON THE CHIP GUIDE…REGGIE

I am always trying to put things together that have some semblance of balance. Of course, that will always be in the eye of the beholder. Some of these may attract you the collector a little or a lot, no matter which way it attracts, please know I am always trying to help you out, with items you want at price that is fair. For now, I am going to do them every week, but as an unscheduled surprise feature…Thanks for looking. Reggie
If you have some ideas about compatible pairs please send them in to me. If it is possible and I happen to have the two, they will be put on the docket...reg

• I like 'em dirty! Adds character.
• I clean my own chips in my collection as I see fit. I don't clean traders. I leave that decision for the new owner.
• I don't clean my chips or my traders.
• Don't clean worn chips. Worn chips that are spotless look unnatural and unattractive.
• Don't clean chips that you intend to trade or sell, let the new owner decide if they would like the chip to be cleaned.
• I don't clean used chips, other than to take off the big globs. For my collection, I currently live by the philosophy that I can always clean them later, but I can never put the history back on. I have lots of chips "awaiting a decision."
• Not all chips are created equal. Some old chips should be cleaned. Can even remove light cigarette burns.
________________________________________
• Worn chips
• Very old or expensive chips
• Chips with paper inserts
• Chips that are very dirty
• Chips that are of a light or bright color, like sky blue or orange, show dirt more readily than darker colors. Even if they are not very dirty, sometimes you cannot remove all the dirt from a light or bright colored chip and you are left with an odd looking chip.
________________________________________
• Use a very soft bristled toothbrush.
• Let experts clean very old or expensive chips.
• A pencil eraser is good for removing scuffs and crud from old chips.
• These cleaners have been reported to have good results cleaning chips: mild dishwashing detergent, Armor All Multi-Purpose Cleaner, Quick'n'Brite, Sterling Magic.
• The trick seems to be to find something that will dissolve the greasy deposits that accumulate on well used chips, without removing any ink, or leeching moisture from the chip. Quick'n'Brite is a thick paste, and does not seem to encourage any moisture transfer, while doing an excellent job of breaking down the greasy gunk. I just stick the chip in the bucket edgewise, rotate it a few time to coat the chip thoroughly, wait about 15-30 seconds, then wipe the chip down with a washcloth. It's revolting how dirty that washcloth gets after only a few chips.
• I use Sterling Magic full strength with a toothbrush. I use no water and just wipe clean with a cloth. It has never, never, ever dried the chip out or caused it to fade. If the chip has a hot stamp, I don't use the toothbrush on that part, I just dab a little on with my finger and gently wipe it off with the cloth.
• I clean virtually all of my chips except those that come straight from the cage and have never seen play. I have also experienced no fading or drying out. The pink goop (Sterling Magic) is great stuff.
• I've been using Armor All Multi-Purpose Cleaning with fantastic results for the past year, no damage to chip, luster and shine are still there...and it cleans the chip. Don't use any other Armor All product i.e., tire cleaner, window, bug, etc.
• Waterless hand cleaner, non abrasive, with lanolin and a bath of johnson baby oil will restore the luster. Give it a bath of oil, let soak for an hour or so on a bath towel turn once after a while wipe dry. Regular mineral oil is too oily
• I use a soft toothbrush & Fantastik. I spray both sides of the chip & clean the dirt off with the toothbrush & then rinse under warm water. I dry the chip with a paper towel. I then use a VERY small amount of mineral oil (which brings out the true colors of the chip which may have been lost over time or due to cleaning) rubbed between two fingers & work it into the chip. That entire process should not take more than a minute. I'll then let the chip dry for 24 hours on one side & turn it over & let dry for another 24 hours before storing the chip.
• I used a soft children's tooth brush and window cleaner. Hot stamps will turn from gold to silver, so they get covered with my thumb and I only clean the mold designs. Chipco, Paulson graphics BJ and others of like design are much more durable.
• I don't clean many of my chips, but when I do I use Amway's L.O.C. (Liquid Organic Cleaner and a baby's tooth brush (much softer than a regular soft toothbrush.) I put a few drops of L.O.C. on the chip and brush very lightly. I so this to remove the surface dirt. If the chip is extremely dirty I generally leave it alone. It sometimes looks better dirty.
• Try Johnson & Johnson baby gel instead of oils to restore the luster. I've been told this by a noted chip collector and restorer.
• Crest and seals - Clean with a 3M scouring pad or wet/dry sandpaper. Then bring back coloring with Johnson & Johnson Baby Gel. (Note: the 3M scouring pad is non-abrasive, it is sold for cleaning dishes.)
________________________________________
• Don't clean the hot stamp with a toothbrush, only gently rub the cleaner in with your fingers.
• Never use anything abrasive to clean your chips.
• Don't use steam to clean clay chips, the steam will heat the chip until it softens and will warp.
• I did ruin a batch of old clays once by putting them in the washing machine with bleach and Tide, it messed them up pretty bad and was very loud to boot.
• I find tying them up in an old T-shirt and running them through the washing machine cycle usually does the trick. However, for that really tough grime that gets lodged down in the bottom of the cane in the hat&cane or the crevices in a small key mold, there's really nothing like a good stiff wire brush and some elbow grease. A little vaseline to bring out the colors when you're done, and Viola! (This is meant as a joke.)
• Do not clean a hot stamped chip with a toothbrush, instead gently rub with your fingers
• I have had very good luck with Sterling's Magic cleaner. However, when I cleaned some old Mint roulettes (this is the series with the small crown mold and a round white inlay) I ended up removing a thin clear plastic cap that covers the inlay.
• Once I was cleaning (I think a Diamond Jim) inlay chip with what I usually use -- dove hand soap bar, toothbrush pared down and warm water, and water got under and discolored the inlay. I think it must have happened because the inlay was weak/lifting some/damaged.
• Once I really screwed up. I had a lot of dried out, faded embossed style poker chips (maybe the Golfer wearing knickers) I often rub chips like these with sewing machine oil (or mineral oil, or Vitamin E liquid). I'd apply the oil and rub it off right away with a paper towel.....But
this time I left all the chips in a pot on mineral oil overnight, and in the morning a found them practically ruined. As I remember, the main
problem was that rings and crescents were left on the chips where one chip rested on another.

I AM REDUCING PRICES ON MOST OF THESE SETS, SOME WILL BE FACE VALUE, SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND WANT, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN SENDING ME AN EMAIL, PUTTING A SOLD SIGN ON THE CB IS NOT THE WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PURCHASE OR TRADE.
