I got an Idle Hour chip from a guy in Ohio who said the club was local. I was able to find a matchbook from the Idle Hour Club in Ohio. I meant to look it up last night for the specifics, but forgot. The matchbook has the famous "Racing results by live wire" indicating the place was probably a bookie joint. I guess its possible they had some gaming action as well.
The Galveston place obviously had casino action, but I've never seen the chip found in the area. In my opinion, this is still unknown for sure.
