General Discussion / A Very Special Offer from The ...
Last post by Jim Follis LM-3872-53 - Jun 10, 2024, 10:30 PMIn very exciting news the CCA's Museum of Gaming History (MoGH) was contacted by the Museum of Law Enforcement and Organized Crime, aka: The Mob Museum, asking for some advice and information on slot machine token dies that they had recently acquired.
Specifically, the dies that they just acquired were from the Tropicana Hotel and Casino, which was just shuttered after 67 years in operation, continuously under the same name and at the same location that entire time!
The MoGH offered some general information about the minting process of tokens and how Nevada casinos had to acquire special approval to mint and manage control of coins with monetary denominations, in a world where the Federal Government prohibited private minting of denominated coins.
During those discussions, the MoGH asked the Mob Museum, if we could borrow some of those dies and display them at the 2024 CCA Convention and Show, as a Mob Museum presented, Educational Exhibit. The Mob Museum has granted the MoGH approval to do so, and, in celebration of the MoGH's 16th Anniversary, they are providing Show attendees (CCA and MoGH members, as well as the public at large) to get a 16% discount off of the Locals and Out-of-State, General Admission ticketing to the Mob Museum, from 11 to 17 June, when tickets are ordered online only. To redeem this discount, use code SWEET16 at checkout when ordering tickets online at https://themobmuseum.org.
We thank the Mob Museum for this gift and the opportunity to present their Tropicana dies in their first public viewing. Details are in the poster, also provided by the Mob Museum.

General Discussion / Announcing my intention to run...
Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Jun 05, 2024, 02:55 AMHello, everyone. I wanted to wait until the 2024 election was over before announcing my intention to run for CCA President in the 2025 election cycle. In due time, I will post my resume including a description of my involvement with the club, and a list of things I intend to do as President should I succeed in my bid to lead this organization. In the meantime, please visit my campaign site (below) when you have a moment.
I will be helping setup at the convention on Tuesday and Wednesday, and attending virtually all of the events on Thursday and Friday, so if you want to meet me or ask any questions or make suggestions for changes to the club you'd like to see, I'll be around. Most of the dealers, officers, and volunteers know me from prior events so if you're trying to find me, just ask around and someone will likely be able to point me out. I have to leave early Saturday morning for a family trip so unfortunately I won't be at the convention on the last day.
Here's a picture of me in case you don't know what I look like.
Looking forward to a hopefully successful (and mud-free) campaign.
Thank you,
-- Barry Sherwood

General Discussion / Dealers, bring me something to...
Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Jun 04, 2024, 10:48 AMAttention all convention dealers (and others)... most of you know what rare Nevada chips I'm looking for, but for those who don't, click this link to get my updated short list. It's sorted by city, then casino name. If you prefer pictures, go to the chip guide query facility and choose "Barry Sherwood - Want list" from the drop down in the lower left. Do your part to keep me from giving all my money to Doug Saito and his consignors. 
(Hi, Doug. Love ya, man!).

Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Jun 04, 2024, 08:53 AMThe "program" link on the convention information page had not been updated. It's there now and the layout is toward the middle/back pages. Here is a direct link. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. I'm sure others were looking for the same information.
