The Chipco CG 023708 chips were used so long that the colors wore away! The casino reordered the same design but by then CI had become GO. The GO logo is above the first yellow A in Marina. Apparently nobody noticed until the GO chips also had begun to wear out! The casino then ordered a new $5 series, CG 161074, Game-On with raised outer ring in an attempt to thwart early wear.
