Identification Help / Re: Hacienda Casino Poker Chip...

Last post by chip collector - Today at 09:57 AM

I'm not opposed to giving up one of the black chips. The Western Room was part of the Balinese Room in Galveston Texas. The Balinese was the most famous back in it's day.

The black chip is attributed to the Western Room in Galveston.

I'd be interested in acquiring one if you have a spare.

General Discussion / ChipGuide News Service Announc...

Last post by Charles Kaplan LM-0115-048 - Jan 02, 2026, 01:15 PM

The ChipGuide News Service (CGNS) sends a daily email to subscribers with a list of all the new and updated items from the previous day. A CGNS subscription is now a ChipGuide advanced feature that is free to all CCA members.

Until now, CGNS subscriptions were available to both CCA members and non-members. If you had a CGNS subscription and are not a CCA member, you will no longer receive the daily updates. Don't think of it as something is being taken away from you, instead, realistically, you had this service for many years for free. Now CGNS requires a CCA membership. If you are not a CCA member and would like to receive daily CGNS emails and also enjoy all the other ChipGuide advanced features, please join the CCA. Collectors should support the hobby with a CCA membership. If you cannot afford a CCA membership, there is a member assistance program, contact the CCA membership officer for more info.

Also, we are in the process of improving CCA services by consolidating membership lists. CGNS emails will be sent to email address that is on file with the CCA. If you don't receive an expected CGNS email tomorrow, please check any other email accounts that you may have. You can always contact me or the CCA membership officer if you have any concerns.
