| The following information was obtained from the Internet. The accuracy of this information is questionable. For example, there are five different colors of chips, not the four stated in this information. In any event, here is what has been found: "Mother Tucker's was a Restaurant/ Adult Night Club located on the White Horse Pike in Atco, New Jersey. The owner/operator was Ed Forte who was Fabian's cousin and road manager. On a trip to Lake Tahoe in 1975, Ed saw and felt Harrah's and Harvey's brass core chips. He liked them and had some made up by Reliable Mfg. Co. (the same company that made Harrah's, Harvey's and the Reno Ramada). He had them made to his exact specifications for Mother Tucker's. There are four basic colors, each color signifying a different day of the week - Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Mother Tucker's was closed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The chips were paid for at the door prior to entering the establishment. These chips were used to purchase food, drinks, gifts and of course, tipping the waitresses. A new re-buy of chips was enforced on a daily basis." |
