A real live $5 chip from the Riviera Casino in Las Vegas. This is the brain child of the one of the most prolific chess organizers in history Mr. Fred Gruenberg. He was also the sponsor of the historic Polgar sisters Triplex Simul last year, part of the Las Vegas International Chess Festival.
In June 2006, the inaugural Susan Polgar World Open Championship for Girls (under 21) will be held in Las Vegas alongside with the National Open and the Las Vegas International Chess Festival!

I think this is the first ever casino chip of a chess player. Congrats!

How can I get some of these chips? I would like to get at least 10 of them since they are collector’s items.
Thanks!
