I like to call these Fremont Freddie's. That also would have been a great name for him performing at the Fremont with an ensemble. Freddy and the Fremonts !!!!! I am not a big Fractional collector, but when I first started in the hobby I came across these chips and found them interesting. Having not looked at these for a while I refreshed myself reviewing the chip guide to sort out the variants which I have pictured below. While studying theses Freddy variants I was surprised to see so many other fractional chips issued at this casino. Not only that but many with up to 4 variants including hot stamped varieties. I would like to know what games they were used for and why so many runs of similar chips. Maybe another video opportunity for Oscar on this topic. Below you have from left to right as follows:
