It’s like something out of a movie — several million dollars’ worth of chips from a closed casino were buried in the middle of Mississippi and later found by accident.
That is what happened with chips from the former Playboy casino found more than 1,000 miles away from the resort, buried in the ground. The history of the chips has come back up after the state Division of Gaming Enforcement issued an order closing an account with more than $875,000 in it that was dedicated to the redemption of chips from the former Playboy Hotel and Casino and Atlantis Casino Hotel.
The agency ruling states the chips were not properly disposed of when the property closed three decades ago.
