one more. I have recently come into ownership of one BAJA chip from Ft. McDowell, but it differs in that the 8SUITS mold is not colored white. The suits are incused with no coloring at all.

The inlay hot-stamps are excellent, but are in a dull silver.

I know that the Casino of the Sun (in Tucson) started off as a bingo only casino and that they used pink, hot stamped "Arizona Club" (porpoise mold) chips as part of the bingo games. One employee told me that they were made in the thousands and used as number covers, but I find that hard to believe because the bingo cards would need to be as big as a 5 x 5 chip holder sheet.

The point I am making is that other Arizona casinos probably also started as bingo facilities and may also have used chips as promotions. Just a possibility for the Baja's.

Are there more variations of the Baja's?
