The casino in the Lincoln Hotel closed in 1968. I first visited
in the early 70s and the tables were still there but had been
shoved together in a corner. It was a full casino with all the
games including keno and poker. The owner, Blanche Olinger
was murdered there in 1968 which apparently was the reason
for the closure. I remember getting $1 LH chips out of a chip
wheel that had an odd mixture of chips used on a poker table
It looks like your LH chip may have been used there even though
it’s a different mold than the one and five. New owners changed
the name to Alpine and later called the bar the Lucky Stiff.
