I have such a chip in my collection; purchased on eBay, I believe, and the seller said it was Hollywood Yacht Club of Hollywood, Florida. A further story sticks in my mind: the chips were made for a New Hampshire venue, but ended up goin' South for balmy winters. The HYC in Florida may have been a Meyer Lansky controlled place; if not, he missed out on an illegal cardroom!
However, I have no further info on where the HYC may have been located, other than perhaps at the marina on the Intracoastal Waterway, on the north side of Hollywood. It is a strange coincidence that the lettering for some New Hampshire location perfectly matches "Hollywood Yacht Club."
