In honor of the Super Bowl (or some other inventive reason) I'm going to auction off a couple of sets of roulette chips from former and the former Red Lion Motor Inn and Red Lion Casino in Elko. These were, two different casino buildings, with different names, at different times, but the same casino.
Red Lion Casino which should be from the newer casino building. But the chips look older? I only know of the five colors, if anyone has something else, please jump in and add that information. These are well used and worn.

The Gold Country replaced the old casino, which was Red Lion Motor Inn. But these chips look newer?

This has always been a mystery of sorts, as the cage and casino people who worked at the old casino RLMI, and now at Red Lion Casino, said they never had roulette at the old casino. The seven chips, from the Red Lion Motor Inn show signs of table use?
I'd like to know more but it seems the factual truth has been lost to time. One option I've imagined is, the original Red Lion Casino became Red Lion Motor Inn, before it was moved across the street and re-named - Red Lion Casino (hotel)?
If you are reading this and thinking when? They are all before the Lion Head roulette chips came into play. My last TCR is 2002, and the dates listed for these, I really can't confirm. I think people who know more than I do, made the best guess. Part of that includes when the Red Lion moved from across the street to the new building, which is now Maverick.

I hope I got it all in this message but I'm happy to answer anything else.
