At some point, I'm not sure when, The Golden Tulip was sold to the Radisson. I believe it happened in 1993, but it could have happened in 1998. In any case, on October 7, 1993, The Aruba Caribbean casino became The Casino Carnaval. There doesn't seem to much around for this casino. I have never seen matches, playing cards or dice from there. So, here is what I have. There were two varieties of the $1 chips, which were made by Chipco Intl., linen and satin, but I have only seen seen satin versions of all of the other denominations.

Apparently, the Casino Carnaval had a carnaval theme (think Mardi Gras). I have never seen any other collectibles from the Casino Carnaval.

On January 1, 1995, the Casino Carnaval became the Casino Masquerade. The Masquerade apparently continued the carnaval theme. They did not have their own chips. I assume they continue to use the Carnaval chips, but I don't know.

I don't have them, but the Masquerade has several silver strikes. Here are some borrowed scans (not from the Chip Guide, which probably has better images):

That's it for today. If anyone has anything to show, or even better scans of the silver strikes, I would love to see them.

Tomorrow, I will have much more to show.
