The Tropicana in Atlantic City issued what may well be its nicest $5 LE yesterday (November 25th) at noon. The chip was made to promote the Trop's year-long New Jersey State Poker Championship Series, now being held.

The chip was released in the Poker Room, at selected live games. (NOTE: In Atlantic City, as most of you know, chips can not be bought directly from the casino cage). Free keychains were given away also in which to hold the chip and many non-chippers purchased several as gifts.

At the time of the release, a total of only three chip collectors/dealers were present.

I've listed one of the chips on eBay. Here's hoping everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
