A question for Flamingo & Bugsy Siegel experts

It is my understanding that Benjamin Bugsy Siegel originally opened the Flamingo in December 1946 as The Pink Flamingo, subsequently closed it two weeks later and reopened it in March 1947 as the Fabulous Flamingo. The earliest chips I've seen pictures of say "The Flamingo". My question is were there any chips made with the name "Pink Flamingo", or have there ever been rumors that such chips may have existed?

I'm considering writing a piece of fiction about a "holy grail" chip and was thinking the idea of a Pink Flamingo chip might fit the story.
