Re: Expert Needed - California or Illinois?

I' am not an expert, but my guess would be Illinois.
Your chip has the same graphic's as Frog City Chip's, who had the same owner.

Frog City Club
5 miles north of Cairo, Route 3
Cairo, Illinois
Type: Illegal
Status: Closed
Open: 1930s, Close: 1950s

In the 1950s, owned by Jake S Rubin, who also owned the "El Patio Club" in Cairo.

Raided in 1956 with four gambling arrests, including Elmer Terrell for operating a craps and a blackjack table, and raided again in January and March 1957, with dice tables, slot machines, and other gaming equipment seized (see "Archive").
