Using Las Vegas’s Mountain Standard Time, the Casino Chip of the Day discussion thread was created late on March 15, 2012 – the Ides of March! – which often strikes me as an ominous date. However, I created that initial post (located here) while at my home base in North Carolina, where it had already become the next calendar day. I have never been particularly good at understanding the way the Romans kept their calendars, but was I really posting that on a.d. XVII Kal. Apr.?
Anyway, I began that discussion thread with a few comments about my objective in creating a thread specifically about chips and collecting and my hopes for the future of the thread. I don’t know that I really visualized it surviving for more than a decade as it has. Subsequently, as the thread grew, I created an index of links to each of the “official” Chip of the Day posts, intending to make it easy for interested parties to find any of the specific chip images and the discussions of the associated casinos.
Over time, the index grew too large to meet the restrictions on the size of a post in this forum, so it was split into two parts. Later, it had to be split into three parts, all crammed into the first three posts of that thread. When it had grown to such an extent that it needed to be split even further, there did not appear to be any means to keep an effective, organized index at the beginning of that discussion thread, and I have struggled with that issue for some time now.
With the help/leadership of some of the higher-ups at this forum, we found a way to create this separate index thread that I think may resolve the problem. This thread is not intended for discussions here but just as an index for the original discussion thread. If you have comments about this index or anything in it, please post them in the CCotD discussion thread.
Each category in this index below has a note as to when the first chip in that category was posted in the thread. The sequence of these category start dates has been: Nevada, South America, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, West Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Canada, Caribbean Islands, Cruise Ships, Europe, Asia, Kansas, Wisconsin, Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, Maryland, Oklahoma, Iowa, Chinese New Year, Oregon, Africa, Oceania, Georgia, Mexico, Washington, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, Wyoming, Central America, Montana, Massachusetts, Virginia, Kentucky ....
At times, forum member and chip collector rdw4potus has taken the lead in posting the Casino Chip of the Day. Casinos marked with "*" were first presented by rdw4potus and initially were presented in periods while I was absent from the forum. After my supply of chips was (temporarily) exhausted, rdw4potus took over the lead role for the thread on a "permanent" basis as of 5/21/13. Others have followed. Casinos listed in the index with a "**" notation have been presented initially by other members. Check each such post to see who made the contribution. I will continue to add to my collection and anticipate posting additional chips myself at the appropriate times.
To date, the total number of casinos represented in the Casino Chip of the Day thread (subject to errors I make in keeping track of this) is 1,643.
