With apologies to Charles Kaplan . . .

The subject chip: NAUGHTY PINE, Mermaids mold, 25 on reverse.

1. Look in ChipGuide under Find Casino. Nothing.

2. Try *Naughty. Nothing. ChipGuide fails!

3. Look in CashCoinConnection, assuming it's a California chip. Nope.

4. Throw up hands.

5. Go onto internet, typing in words "Naughty Pine."

6. Find the American Casino Guide, a really good place to look. There's a listing for Naughty Pine! Look that up. It's in Trout Creek, Montana!

7. Go to its facebook site, find a thumbnail photo of the place in a Ho Chi Minh-ute. The Naughty Pine Saloon

8. Take decent scans of the chip, outside, trying to keep the images ROUND.

9. Read Yelp reviews of the joint: Naughty Pine Saloon - Trout Creek, MT

And find a decent photo, at least.

10. Submit to the ChipGuide and hope that Webmaster Charles isn't entirely upset with me for items 1 through 7. (With a little luck, he won't read this post anyway.)

11. Voila! A "new" gambling venue discovered. Q.E.D. *

* It's Latin (as opposed to Laton in California or Laotian in Laos) - means that's jes' what I've been a-tryin' to do all along.
