a better comparison would be an EDSEL.

Just the mention of ‘Museum of Gaming History’ would most likely get an eye roll response from most chip collectors. Club members, and non-club members, alike. Definitely a negative connotation of mis-management and money and opportunities wasted.

Lose the name, cut your losses, and move on.

Myself, and many other chip collectors active in the hobby, would probably join, or re-join, the club on that change alone..
