Yep, that's the one. They gave special tokens that worked only in certain machines. Somehow, though, we managed to do pretty well at them and then used the match play chips on a craps table and kind of cleaned up. We stayed for free, essentially, plus it paid for the Sunday breakfast buffet at Caesars for the three of us (a big deal for us at the time).

I have tried to find those tokens and match play chips. These are the tokens:

I believe the chips were one of these two:

There is a third possibility, but I have never seen one of those chips. I remember being so new we didn't notice the difference between these and the $5 rack chips. After the craps dealer showed us the difference, it became pretty obvious. I remember that the chips were orange and hot stamped, so it is probably one of the two chips above.

I still have a free picture they took of the three of us and a deck of cards they gave us. I can also still remember the stench on the floor where we stayed. Why we didn't ask for a room change, I just can't remember. Maybe we did. Somehow, we didn't care too much. It didn't smell in the room and we weren't there too much anyway. Great memories.
