Horseshoe Cleveland History (1 Viewer)

[shorticus]

Horseshoe Cleveland's are by far my most favorite chip to date. I like a lot of chips, but fell in love with these. I also like the Cincy's, but the golden horseshoe on the Cleveland's just put them over the top for me.

Being that I like these so much, I was wondering if anyone could give me a little history lesson on these. How did they come to be available on PCF. I see that the Cincy's were a sale via The Chip Exchange, but I have no origin information on the Cleveland's. Obviously, they come from the Horseshoe Casino in Cleveland (just to get that out the way), but I was wondering if there were anymore details that anyone had on these beauties.

In particular this part:
Rock Gaming acquired Caesars Entertainment's 20% stake in Rock Ohio Caesars in February 2015,[10] and later in the year announced that it would assume management of the properties, including Horseshoe Cleveland.[11] Rock Gaming announced in February 2016 that the company and its casinos would rebrand under the Jack name.[12] The casino closed for 40 hours in May 2016 to undergo its transition to the Jack name and management.[13][14]

Happy to help! I saw bits and pieces of information from browsing the forums over the past couple months but tapped into my google-fu for some more details with timelines.
