Neat photos and matches. In the 70s Louie Dotson, who ran the games at the A-1 casino
in Wendover, gave me some $5.00 chips marked NL and said they were from the Northern
Lounge, inside the Hotel, in Ely. He said his father ran the games. According to Fuller, gaming
didn't start until 1950 and ran until 1964 which, I believe, was when it was destroyed in a fire.
The photos (and probably matches) are pre-1950 which I assume is why no mention or signs
advertising gaming is shown.
