Hi Jim; No, Playboy did not get their permanent license .... but the casino was allowed to open and to run LEGALLY for three years on a temporary for quite some time before the license was denied. I don't know how many times I've been told by someone who heard that Playboy was never allowed to open and the chips from Playboy should be treated the same as Jockey Club in Las Vegas. UNTRUE!
