Chips have a holographic security feature on the inlay: hold the chip one direction, little "linoleum squares" appear. Turn it the other way, and circles (with dots in them) show up instead.

Newly designed $25 chip, replaces the BG chips that were released only last year. Inlay is holographic, circles and squares appear as the chip is held obliquely, as with the older $25 and all other BG chip denominations of the new 2018 series. "Barona" is in a glittery dark red.

Welcome Home - issued for the opening of the new hotel wing in 2018. Unusual chip, does not state the casino name on either side! Only identifying mark, on the "Welcome Home" side: the new logo of Barona (grape leaves) appears above the word "Welcome."

Old soft-plastic keyfob, 1-5/8" X 1-5/8" square. Possibly the first keyfob issued at the casino. Old Spanish-mission logo, and address of 1000 Barona Road (not that of the current casino buildings). On the reverse it lists Pan 9 as a game - don't think the casino currently offers that on a regular basis.
