When I first started looking i was wondering WHY all the fuss over Tiger Palace, but, the more I look the more I love these chips! Great colors abs spotting.
 
Going through my singles collection, I only have these two, but I do like them a bunch, especially the $100.

This place in Spokane never opened. I vaguely remember reading they were set to go with chips and everything (obviously) and were told the name and likeness of miss Monroe was a big no-no.
 
I realized while I was away from my collection that I actually have two more snakebites beyond the ones I posted above. These are the chips used in the middle (??) of the original run of Poker After Dark.

Fronts and backs. What looks like specks and spots on the Air-Tites are actually faint stars in the background of the inlays.

Despite the rather uninspired spot color choices (hey, they were functional for TV purposes) these are a couple fun pieces of televised poker history. One degree of separation between these and various poker stars who used them on the show.

The set is almost complete, only missing the fuchsia base T500 chip which I've never seen available. If anyone has a lead on one, please let me know. :whistle: :whistling:
