This is a black, $25.00 chip, with small Greek key mold and hot-stamped lettering, from the Balinese Room of the Turf Athletic Club in Galveston, Texas. The chip is in very good 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 bid 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. We have a large collection of chips from the illegal casinos of Galveston - some of which we are selling on Ebay.
