Re: Eagle Mountain Casino!!
You are lucky to get a chip with the eagle still on it! The gold eagle stamp was so thin, that they wore off completely after some table use. That casino in nice, but quite some distance off the nearest highway They have been negociating for several years to get an "off rez" site nearer the main highway. When I went there after they opened, there was a large group of Japanese (I thought tourists), but it turned out that the tribe had contracted with Pachinko (a Japanese firm) to provide their first "slots" ( slot machines were illegal at that time, even on Indian rancherias, but they had concocted several varieties of machines that "looked like slot machines, but emmulated the algorithmic selection" used in the California state lottery, so were passed as legal.
