Re: Mel, what's the story?
In Response To: Re: Mel, what's the story? ()

Unsavory Asians of Chinese descent ordered dies from Reliable die Casting, paid cash, did not leave names, address', business cards, or phone...just cash and picked up the chips 4-5 months later to be used as name on chips denote ; in Emeryville,Calif across the street from Oaks. They do not like competition.

Pai Gow opened in the location King Midas took over. Game lasted a short while til they either got busted, went busted, or found the bus out of town. Reliable got a lot of flak about the dollar matching the $100 Harrahs .....
I tried for 4 years to find the chips. Bought back 99.5% of the them. About 250 of the whites missing since I could not count down the buy in the back of my car trunk as they were delivered in the parking lot at 3 AM in Emeryville and cash was passed. 95% were boxed and sold to another unsavory Asian crowd to use in Japan by Jim Pontillo and I so if they show up now.....I dunno....
Any association with counterfiet Harrah's/ Harvey's white $100 purely speculative and unfounded, but the inserts are almost exact and shortly after thise fiasco......Harvey's and Harrah's were counterfeited in the $100 and $500 denoms .....THE CLUB DID OPEN. I did get the first few off the tables. Few players of other than Asian descent ever saw the game therefore it is much easier for most collectors to surmise the game did not exist.
