Looks like this is the eBay listing for this item. Did you buy it or were you the seller?

I did probably the same google searches and couldn't find any other wooden boxes like this one.  A few tin boxes from there, and lots of hits on the cards, which might be from the gift shop based on how they're sealed, the wording on the box, and the lack of a seal ON the box itself (just on the cellophane).  Dice look like home board game dice as well.  So (just my guess), this whole kit was probably sold in the gift shop.  Could still be quite valuable as a collector's item if it's vintage.  And since you and I can't seem to find any others, the rarity of this item lends extra value as well.  Nice find!

Side note: I sent you a message re: CCA member status.  Sent it as a DM, but I think it emails you as well.  Could you reply to that when you get a chance, please?

Thank you for your reply, yeah I can't find any info and if you can't either it might be rare, I'm only new at collecting casino collectables so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks again
