A Homage to gambling history

This website is dedicated to the history of Casino gambling, namely the Chips, Ashtrays, and other memorabilia from Casinos around the world.

Most of these Chips will be obsolete (not in use or legal tender anymore) and many of the Casinos from which they originate will be long gone.

Many will come from iconic Casinos, steeped in history, with the sweat of gangsters and movie stars possibly upon them.

The ‘Rat Pack’ for example, or members of The Mob from the many post-war years when Vegas was Mob controlled and cheaters were dealt with ‘internally’ in a secluded back room.

There is also a selection of Ashtrays, a mixture of Casino ashtrays and business advertising ashtrays, from a period when smoking was ‘de rigueur’ the accepted norm, and tobacco advertising was rife.
