This $1.00 light gray (or tan) chip is from the Turf Athletic Club Balinese Room. It has the radial diamond (Jack Todd) mold with hot-stamped lettering. It is in excellent condition. The Balinese Room was a gambling casino located on a pier that extended into the Gulf on Galveston Island. Run by the Maceos and Fertittas, the Balinese was a luxurious night club with first class entertainment by big band orchestras. The long breezeway out to the main rooms made the Balinese nearly "raid-proof," and was known as "Ranger Run" because even the fastest Texas Ranger could not get to the gaming tables before they were converted to pool and bridge tables during a raid. |
