In some of the Bunny articles they mention ~~~
In Response To: Not really (or doubtful) IMHO. ()

~~~ names of managers at Portsmouth as well though, I found that not to be uncommon as I have mentioned here (archived) by one employee who sent me the Playroom card (also archived here but, the image is gone.

The dates did stand out and, I noticed that in another article as well which was by a Bunny who mentioned the year the Playroom opened in 1976 which, while reading, my Inteenef connection went blank in a storm and when revisiting my only interest was to find out if maybe gaming took place in the room which appears to have been mostly dining, dancing and entertainment going deep into mentioning the performers' names... but not a single word or anything pointing to Roulette... and, as you said, I hardly ever had any concrete proof of chip descriptions being used when I was studying the illegal operation in Florida, and some of those folks were well into their 80's and were only interested in talking about what they wanted to talk about.

The Geocities notation in the page below is exact and, my best guess is that it may have been from a publication such as International Casinos Guide, of which I have a 1990 issue where they mention virtually everything possible as to the casino operation from dress code walking in the door to table limit and hitting big on the breakdown of tables and the numbers of each table with more than enough information is in black and white with managers names and phone numbers... and, even with all that information it is only pertaining to the time the information was compiled and, of course, stops there and, thus my note that unless we read every guide for as long as the Portsmouth club was in operation, there is no knowing for how long those four (4) Roulette tables were in operation or when they first appeared and when the number of tables were possibly reduced to three, two and the possibly of one... but, we do know for a fact that Portsmoitth had at least one series of non-denominated jetons at least in five (5) colors with a Black Bunny and below that series we see � leton with a lunette which might have been part of another series witn diffent colors and, even below that we see a jeton with a Red shade Bunny and from a club that opend years after the London Playboy where I just introduced to the hobby two jetons of the same 42 mm size being non-denominated and another jeton with the Red shade Bunny as the Portsmouth example, also a non-denominated jeton being only 30 mml

So, at this point where we now know of and have images of Playboy Club jetons which match a previously known and published jeton with the same exaxt central graphics on CG, screams that we have a bunch of non-denominated jetons which fit the same exact description of any American-style, clay composition Roulette chip and, added to the fact that we do not know for sure how many Roulette tables were at Portsmounth and certainly have no idea as to how many and what all Roulette tables were in the rooms and on what levels and for how long each and every variety of Roulette took place from 1966 to 1982 in London, might be a mistake in saying any of the varieties seen on CG from Portsmouth and London, and my newly found varieties ae not Roulette chips of the American-style but plastic jeton style.

Having someone say they do not recall exactly what was used when they were employed at a casino is not proof that something did not exist and having actual jetons in hand and seen in CG in so many varieties is proof something which are non-denominated strongly suggests there were games going on at both locations with what we now see more of than previously known...,

1966 to 1982 is a lot of years and one perfect example of what was not published on CG and found by David is solid, concrete proof of what some never thought would be found and, we are a long ways from the end of the story.
