Casino: The Imperial
The Imperial opened in 1992 and operated until 2010 when it changed ownership and was renamed Big Jim’s Gambling Hall & Saloon before closing for good in 2014.
This was a grand Colorado gaming establishment that embraced the old west. Their chip designs reflected that tradition. They issued several $1 designs over the years – all ceramic Chipco’s.
Their standard $1 house chip was elaborately designed with the crown signifying it as the class of Bennett Ave.
$1 Imperial chip
In 1992, to celebrate the town’s centennial, The Imperial issued this commemorative $1 chip which also noted Cripple Creek as the World’s Greatest Gold Camp.
$1 Imperial commemorative 1992 chip
In 1996, they issued a set of 5 chips with various poker hands. Each denomination depicted an increasingly better poker hand. The $1 shows an ace-high flush, the $2.50 shows tens full of sevens, the $5 shows quad kings, the $25 shows a seven-high straight flush, and the $100 shows a spade royal.

In 1997 for their 5th anniversary, they issued a 4-chip set. This one depicted various slot machine results from 3 cherries on the $1 chip, 3 BARs on the $2.50 chip, 3 7’s on the $5 chip, and 3 crowns on the $25 chip.
$1 Imperial 5th Anniversary chip
Also in 1997, The Imperial decided to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1947 movie Marshal of Cripple Creek. Yup, you’re getting a movie poster in the Casino Chip of the Day thread.

This was a 4-chip set with each chip depicting a character from the melodrama. I think that the gold panner on this $1 chip was the best of the series.

I love everything to do with all these sets of chips. I wish more casinos would put 1% of the effort into their chips that this casino did.

Casino: J.P. McGill’s
J.P. McGill’s casino opened in 1997. They are now known as just McGill’s Hotel Casino. This Irish themed casino is one of the largest in Cripple Creek. They closed all of their table games many years ago and now offer 280 slot machines. They are operated by Triple Crown Casinos which also operates the two adjacent casinos: Midnight Rose and The Brass Ass Casino.
They issued two different $1 chips: a standard house chip as well as a dated version for their 1997 grand opening. These could routinely be found on their black jack tables. They also issued 60 5-chip numbered sets of the dated variety.
The ceramic Chipco chips are wonderfully designed, but the denomination seemed to be forgotten and added after the fact as an afterthought.

Casino: Johnny Nolon’s
Johnny Nolon’s casino opened in 1991 and was one of the first Cripple Creek casinos to open once gaming in the state was approved.
They were also the first to use clay Paulson chips, which were the industry standard in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Their first issue $1 chip was a white hat & cane mold with a small inlay depicting the Johnny Nolon logo in black with a red $1 denomination. Not a very eye-catching chip.
$1 Johnny Nolon’s 1st issue chip
Later that same year, as Chipco ceramic chips took hold among Colorado casinos, Johnny Nolon’s produced this 2-sided version. The logo on each side differs slightly, but the chip is still an improvement over the original clay chip.
$1 Johnny Nolon’s 2nd issue chip
It’s been many years since Johnny Nolon’s has had table games. Like other small Colorado casinos they now only offer slot machines; making these $1 chips a thing of the past.

Casino: Johnny Z’s
Johnny Z’s casino opened in 2010 was originally listed in the Casino Chip of the Day back in 2013, but only their $5 chip was pictured. This casino, like the Four Queens and Palms in Las Vegas, were notorious for issuing a large number of house as well as limited edition chips in all denominations to take advantage of casino chip collectors. The Four Queens has issued 35+ different $1 chips and counting, while the Palms has issued almost 40! Johnny Z’s has issued 21 different $1 chips, but fortunately for the wallets of collectors, they seem to have ended that practice in 2017 before closing their doors for good in 2020. Below is a complete rundown of these chips. Enjoy!
Their 1st issue house chip, produced in 2010, was a clay Paulson hat & cane mold with 3 colored inserts and a small logo center inlay. This high quality chip should have been sufficient for years to come and even today, in 2024, would be in perfectly fine condition for the rigors of Colorado table games.
$1 Johnny Z’s 1st issue chip
Two short years later, in 2012, Johnny Z’s decided to abandon Paulson and move to Chipco.
$1 Johnny Z’s 2nd issue chip
Later that same year, Johnny Z’s decided to get into the limited edition chip game. Their first LE was this 2nd Anniversary chip.
$1 Johnny Z’s 2nd Anniversary chip
In 2013, GameOn, formerly Chipco, produced this Halloween chip in a quantity of 200. Most of these limited edition chips had production runs of 200 or 300.
$1 Johnny Z’s Halloween 2013 chip
Later that year they released this Holiday chip.
$1 Johnny Z’s Holiday 2013 chip
With the success of their limited edition chip program, they decided to add St. Patrick’s Day to the calendar in 2014. These four days; Anniversary, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, and Holiday, would become a mainstay. While the $1 chips alone would not make the limited edition chip program profitable, keep in mind that Johnny Z’s produced these same limited edition chips in $5 and $25 denominations.
$1 Johnny Z’s St. Patrick’s Day 2014 chip
Next up for 2014 was this 4th Anniversary chip…
$1 Johnny Z’s 4th Anniversary chip
…followed by their Halloween chip….

…followed by their Holiday chip.

Just to add one more chip to 2013, this promotional chip was also issued. $5 and $25 denominations were also made. These were given to guests and could only be used at the tables.

More of the same limited edition chips in 2015 starting with St. Patrick’s Day…

…then their 6th Anniversary chip, but returning to a 1-sided design.
$1 Johnny Z’s 6th Anniversary chip
It was now that Johnny Z’s decided that their 2nd house rack needed to be replaced after only 4 years of use, so this new design was issued.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program of limited edition chips…

They continued with the 2-sided design in 2017 for this St. Patrick’s Day chip.
$1 Johnny Z’s St. Patrick’s Day 2017 chip
This 7th Anniversary limited edition chip would prove to be their last. Perhaps the casino chip collecting community had had enough? Perhaps the limited edition chip program wasn’t as profitable as it once was? Who can guess? But if you’re a $1 casino chip collector you’re likely to have them all.

Casino: Lucky Strike at Pete’s Place
Lucky Strike at Pete’s Place, formerly Pete’s Place, opened in 1995. The casino has long since closed, but not without leaving behind a noteworthy set of $1 chips for collectors.
The first set was a beautiful 5-chip stackable set of $1 chips released in 1996. Each chip depicted a different playing card comprising a spade royal flush. While both sides of the chip had the same artwork, the edges did not. When properly stacked, the edges of the chips displayed each of the four suits as shown below.
$1 Lucky Strike at Pete’s Place 5-chip stackable set

In 1997 they released a second 5-chip set of $1 chips. Why so soon after the 1996 set? Perhaps they underestimated the number of chips that would walk out the door and into the hands of collectors. Whatever the reason when this new set was ordered they kept the artwork the same, but replaced the stackable edge design with the year, 1997, in black. Did this make the new set less collectible? Maybe, as when the chips are displayed in a frame the edges cannot be seen. But this didn’t stop many collectors, including me, from picking up this new set.

At least the black jack table necessitated the need for casino chips. This showgirl raising her cocktail glass is one of the more difficult $1 chips to locate.

Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean
Ship: Symphony of the Seas
It's almost 11:59 p.m., so I'm sneaking in a chip!
From June 14–21, 2024, I sailed on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas. I'm a bit "salty" about this chip because in 2015 I sailed on the Independence of the Seas and collected a nice chip, so I was hoping to add another nice one. However, I found that they're now using generic, one-piece Royal Caribbean chips that are the same on both sides. Just one more way, in my mind, for the cruise line to cut costs and raise profits!
The casino highlight was teaching my 18-year-old son how to play craps at the $5 minimum table. He had some beginner's luck, so he was happy to have learned how to play!

In fact, Otto’s was just a small slot parlor located inside of the Black Forest Inn. But in 1996 for their 5th anniversary they did decide to commemorate the occasion by producing a limited edition chip.
This Chipco design features a picture of the inn on one side along with the city/state, name, and denomination. The reverse is quite colorful and displays the denomination, full name, city/state, and the 5th anniversary with year.
$1 Otto’s 5th anniversary chip
Almost as an afterthought, Otto’s issued the same chip in a numbered series. The number was engraved on the front of the chip above the Black Forest Inn.

Located at 101 Richman Street, the RichMan casino opened in July of 1992 and closed in November of 2006.
The unique way in which patrons came by this $1 chip made it one of the more valuable $1 Colorado chips. You could not exchange cash for this chip at the black jack table, nor could you buy it from the cage. This chip had to be earned. RichMan would hand out this chip only to their high roller players for frequent play, or your could get your hands on one if you spent $1,000 in the casino. Very odd.
This Chipco design features six gold bars with the denomination, city/state, and casino name in black text. A simple design, but highly sought after by casino chip collectors.

I seem to recall that I purchased the $1 Richman chip from an eBay auction. I probably paid between $100 and $150 for it, but that would have been around 2006 judging from the date of the image on my website. I use to keep detailed records of higher end chips that I needed from completed auctions data on eBay, but those records are long gone. The highest I ever paid for a single $1 chip most have been the $1 Gregory Street from Colorado. I think I paid $150 for that chip which I purchased directly from another collector, probably around the same time frame.

I only collect $1 denomination chips, though I have denominations ranging from 25¢ to $100, and even a 25k tournament chip, among my current and past traders. I haven't kept up with the rising price of some of the old $1 Las Vegas chips in my collection, but I'd suspect that some of them have surpassed the sinking value of some of my rarer $1 Colorado chips.
I'd have to admit that some of the most valuable chips that I've sold are tournament chips.
If I sell/buy/trade chips from individuals I have records going back to June of 2003. Tournament denominations are represented with a T rather than a $. Here are some sales records:
Jul 08 - WSOP T25 & T100 sold for $120
Jul 09 - WSOP T25 & T100 sold for $144 on eBay
Nov 09 - WSOP T25 sold for $190 on eBay
Jun 10 - WSOP T1,000, T500, T100x4, and T25x4 sold for $1,100
Jun 10 - $500 WSOP buy-in chip sold for $525
WSOP Tournament chips circa 2008
The craziest eBay chip sale I had was for the T100 and T500 Venetian chip. The Venetian poker room had just opened the week prior when I was in Las Vegas. This was back in 2006. The huge room was empty except for a couple of tables as few people knew that the room was even opened. They announced that they'd be running a $25 Sit-n-Go, so I joined. Because the room was new, so were the chips. I forget the starting stacks, but we were given T25, T100, and T500 denominations. I considered pocketing a T25 chip if I thought I might be eliminated. But I ran good and knew that if I took one now it would be noticed during the color-up. Once they removed the T25 chips from play the Sit-n-Go ended with just the T100 and T500 chips in play. I ended up winning the Sit-n-Go.
(As a side note, they gave us all very nice looking Venetian ball caps with the same scroll-like logo as were on the chips. The very next day I went to the South Coast, now the South Point, for lunch. They had a great seafood dish served at a diner-style bar. I took my hat off to eat and left without it. I returned a few minutes later once I realized my mistake, but it was gone.)
Anyway, while they were paying out the 2nd place player I attempted to toss the dealer a T100 and ask for a change. I figured that he might fall for it as it would be routine at the cash tables. He made a move towards the green T25 chips in his rack, but stopped himself only to ask me why. I said I’d like a souvenir chip to bring home to remember my victory. He let me know that no tournament chips were allowed to leave the casino. Ok, so on to Plan B. I palmed two T100 and one T500 chip as they were paying me out. I immediately slipped them into my pocket and walked briskly towards the parking garage before anyone noticed the 3 missing chips. Here are images of those chips from the ChipGuide.
Venetian Tournament Chips circa 2006
Once home in Florida, I put the chips up for auction on eBay. I don’t recall what the first T100 chip sold for, but I do remember the T500. There were 2 interested bidders. One of the bidders knew me and I him. As with most eBay auction all of the bids some in at the end of the auction. I was online watching in the closing minutes of the auction. A late bid came in from the guy I knew which jumped up the current price to something like $76. He immediately messaged me saying that he accidentally typed in $260.10 instead of $26.10, asking me if there was something I could do about it. I told him tom wait until the auction ended. Sure enough, with seconds to go the other bidder put in a bid which had the final sale price jump to $265.10. He was relieved and I was delighted! The auction winner not only paid, but must have seen the auction for the T100 that he had missed and asked me if I had another chip to sell, which I did. I see that he sent me another $23.05 via PayPal and now owns both chips. His name was Roger Walker from Ft. Worth, TX. I don’t know if he is still around or if he even is still a casino chip collector, but those were beautiful tournament chips. They replaced that design shortly thereafter. Yup, I ended up making more money by selling those 3 chips than I did from winning the tournament.
I still have 3 WSOP chips in my desk. My wife likes to scrapbook and made a couple nice framed ones for my office that have my WSOP entry fee stubs and WSOP photos (WSOP staff go around at the start of each tournament and take photos of every player, then post them online for sale. Not sure if they still do this or not, but they made for nice keepsakes.) The plan is to eventually add the tournament chips into the frames too.

The black locomotive set in front of purple mountains under a blue sky is framed by the year the casino opened, 1992, and the city/state. The outer circle has a gray background and black text with the name of the casino. The denomination is in white and almost takes away from the beauty of the design. This chip, along with that from the Nevada House is also highly collectible by train enthusiasts, making both of these chips difficult to obtain.
