There is not or ever was, a casino in Michigan called Traverse Bay. There is Leelanau Sands (opened 09/1985) & Turtle Creek (opened 06/14/1996) owned by the same band of Indian tribe. The Indians had bought a large northern Michigan resort called Grand Traverse Bay Resort. There was no casino on that property but they changed the name on the chips at the 2 casinos they owned to “Traverse Bay Casino Resorts” for a little while before changing the chips to reflect the name of the casino that they are used in.

Fantasy chips are not made by or for a casino, although they may appear otherwise. Fantasy chips are made by independent 3rd parties as
either counterfeits,
fakes
or souvenirs.
Fantasy chips are included on the ChipGuide to alert collectors that they
are not casino chips and to advise you to proceed with caution. Purchasing fantasy chips, especially those that appear to be real casino chips,
may lead to fraudulent sales when your collection is disbursed and encourages their continued production.
