Capri diamond-hub chip story
In Response To: Help with Unknown chips ()

I was told that the CAPRI was "ordered for" the famous Cuban casino but not delivered due to Castro's takeover. Nice story but . . . I don't t think it's on the level.

Chipguide lists the Capri as from Isle of Capri on Pike Street, Seattle, Washington. http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=WASEIO&sort=type

A city that Fidel did NOT take over.

St. G. - think I have one around also in the Rack of Shame. Someone once thought it was the G Street Cardroom in San Diego. Too bad no such place is known to have existed. Just a cloud of Cuban cigar smoke in the area.

VGL - I got one of those at the recent Convention, in white, and boy, am I proud of my purchase. It's the greatest! Fantastic!! Don't have the faintest idea where it's from, but it sure is a great chip. Never know when it might come in handy as a bathroom sink stopper.
