$1 casino chip sells for nearly $29,000 on eBay!

Now this is what I call a return on investment! According to an article in Kansascity.com American Sandy Marbs bagged $28,9880.88 on internet auction site eBay for a rare 1960’s $1 casino chip from the now defunct Showboat Casino. She kept it in her jewellery box for the past 48 years because the image of a boat on the chip reminded her of Missouri.

Apparently this casino chip is one of only three in existence and is thought to be the highest price ever paid for a $1 chip.

Well Sandy, may I be one of the first to congratulate you on your windfall. It just goes to show that sometimes it’s good to keep your casino memories close to you. Anyway all this talk of windfalls and casinos has put me in the mood for a few spins on one of our progressive slots. The jackpot total is currently sitting at over €5,000,000 and I have a feeling it’s going to be paying out soon.

Cheers for know and I’ll be seeing you at the slots (the progressive slots that is).

Justin
