Here's a quote from their website:
The Normandie Casino has been family owned and operated by the Miller family since 1947, and it is currently one of the few family-owned casinos in the country. The Normandie is also famous for being the only original Southern California card club still in existence today.
Just a few years after the first big casino was built in Las Vegas and before Indian casinos began dotting the Southern California landscape, the Western Club opened its doors in Gardena in 1940. Seven years later, in 1947, the Western Club was renamed the Normandie and Russ Miller became an owner.
I love the old Gardena Club chips and particularly the early fractionals. Do you know if they had an inlaid 10c chip from this series?
