I just found this site oddly enough because I am watching the TV Show CHiPs and noticed in a scene they were sky diving above Lake Elsinore. So I searched "chips lake elsinore" and found this. I can only find one right now, but I think I had about $50.00 in some 5s and a 25 from Elsinore. I didn't know they changed them out. I was from the area, but lived out of state for 10 years, and once in a while when I would visit I would play.

I found them in my drawer about a year ago and brought them to play and was told they were old and wouldn't take them.

So now they are rattling around in a drawer. I had been going to that casino since I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. We used to have Easter Brunch at the restaurant there.

When I turned playing age, 18 I think it was in 2002ish, I would play there. They used to have a comp program. And it had an awesome return on investment. I think they still have a comp program but not like it used to be. Like you spent 20-30 bucks and it was enough to get a steak dinner and fries you could eat at the BJ table.

I just found my card the other day in a closest in a spare room. The card must be 20 years old. They gave you a wallet card and two key cards. This was when key cards were all the rage and every type of store had them. So it's odd I literally just found the key card, and then found this site. These are the 3 chips I can find right now and the comp card. The card has a 951 area code so it was made after 2004, since that is when we went to the 951 from the 909.

I pictured it as a beautiful lake in my mind, like a mini Lake Tahoe. I’m assuming it’s not a very nice area?

Downtown area, and the newer areas are nice and have charm. Rest of the area is crap and full of crime. Always been that way. The lake as the other has said is shrinking. It's also VERY shallow, average depth is about 15-20 feet. So it's VERY VERY green. It says too warm to kill off the algae so it blooms all the time causing the lake to close for safety concerns as time. I still go there on my jet ski, but rather go to Perris. Elsinore is longer and has no speed limit so at times its fun, but water can be nasty.

If you look up on a sat image, you can see how green it is compared to other lakes in the area like Skinner, Matthews, Perris, Big Bear, Silverwood, even the Salton Sea is blue compared to Elsinore. It's easy to tell what one is Elsinore. My mom grew up there and graduated HS in the 60s from Elsinore. And my Grandmother liked in Lakeland Village when I was growing up. We never went there when I was a kid, but in the 80s/90s it was blue and a lot better, but still had a reputation of being nasty.

I was last there around August 2021 on the lake, and it closed for safety due to algae until about mid 2022. They will close all access to it, that's how bad it gets.

I'd be happy to buy the chips off of you if you are selling them...
