Annabelles Casino £1 CIC - took me ages to find any chips from the now-closed Annabelles casinos, so happy when I found this one
Broadway Club 2/6 (2 shillings, 6 pence) the pre-decimal equivalent of 12 1/2p - thanks to David Spragg for this one
Crayford Club Bristol - the hotstamp is better in real life - 12 1/2p is the denomination - I love the idea of a fractional fractional!!!
£5 Reading Sporting Club - I went here once before they got taken over, but the place was so busy I never got to play! Thanks to Ross Poppel for letting me have this one when we went on a casino-crawl in London togther a few years ago!
Starlight Club Ipswich 5 shillings - not even sure if this was a casino (if it was, it was an illegal) but Ipswich is about 12 miles from where I live and the closest chip to my home town! Picked this up at the Convention a couple of years ago.
Victoria Club Nottingam £2 - the first independant casino £2 chip I got from the tables - went there en-route to a friend's wedding a few years ago to find that it did not open in the afternoons, so had to go back at midnight after the wedding - 20 mile drive so couldn't drink at the reception, but some great chips.
Westcliff Millennium - I love this one. My old home-town casino, the first English Limited Edition chip to be used in general play.
Stakis £2 - used to get these at the casino in Russell Square on Friday nights when they had a poker room. I love the idea of £2 chips in general play.
The Spanish Galleon jeton from Gosport - what a great jeton and a great casino name
And of course the Grosvenor £2 Millennium tokens - look closely, this one was a special minted to be given to staff! (I still need the Victoria Casino and other £5 versions if anyone has one for sale or trade.....please!!!!)
