This original non-denominated roulette and table play chip comes from the historic O'Dwyer's casino in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, dating precisely to its operational window of 1949–1951. These non-denominated white chips were utilized at the club's high-traffic roulette tables and specialized gaming layouts, allowing dealers to assign custom cash values to individual players during fast-paced play in the peak era of Gulf Coast illegal gaming. Pressed in a heavy composite clay body, the chip centers around the stylized venue crest enclosed within a protective laurel leaf ring, mirroring the sophisticated design aesthetic of the club's high-roller rooms. The bright white colorway served as a key visual marker for pit bosses tracking wheel action across the crowded main floor of 100 Jefferson Highway.
