Los Patos

Houston, Texas
Type: Illegal
Status: Closed
Open: 1954

The Burt Co. shipped 1000 of these chips in four colors to "Foley's" in Houston, Texas in 1955. Foley's was Houston's largest department store in the 1950s, located at 1100 Main Street. These chips were likely ordered by one of its customers.

Previously attributed to Los Patos Avenue, Huntington Beach, California, in the Staeffler California Card Room Guide (2020). That attribution is in doubt.

About Illegal Casinos - by their nature, information about illegal, or unlicensed, casinos is hard to find and difficult to verify. Information presented on the ChipGuide about these casinos is provided as the result of our best efforts but may not be 100% accurate. Even if the information is accurate, gamblers move around and may take their equipment with them; items used in one casino may have also been used in others. Please send verified information about illegal casinos to the ChipGuide so that we may improve our accuracy.
