Hi I'm a new member and found this chip in my dad's room when he passed away. I'm just curious if anyone knows anything about it as I believe gambling has always been illegal in Texas but maybe I'm wrong. Im not getting rid of it but just curious if I can get some kind of info about where it might be from. Any help is appreciated!!

Welcome to PCF. Looks like it was from a fake “casino” located in Houston in the ‘80s.

I'm guessing this was a different variation to the one on Chipguide....or this chip was originally white?
Either way, this "just for fun" establishment knew to buy the right brand and style of chips, for sure.

Thank you so much!! I was expecting something like that and it's really cool to know that I was right. Im researching a lot of interesting items my dad had and it's been helping me cope by still feeling connected to him everytime I figure one out. Greatly appreciate it!!!
