The Gambia
A Casino Token
Token from Kololi Casino
The Gambia is one of African countries for which
I only know of one token type and here it is. This token is from Kololi
Casino, this establishment is in Senegambia, the main tourist district
in The Gambia and it opened in 1991. The token will be for slot
machines. The design on each side is the same. “KOLOLI CASINO”
above-around / two entwined horseshoes depicted in the centre with
three small five-pointed stars to the right, within the end of one of
the horseshoes / “THE GAMBIA” below-around between two large diamond
spacers. The approximate dimensions of the token are:- diameter 25mm,
7.5 grams. The token is made from Copper-Nickel and has a plain edge.
There is no indication of a denomination and I have no information
regarding the value that the token was used as.

There is perhaps just one other casino in The Gambia - it is the one at
"The Dunes Resort and Casino", near Banjul, the capital city of The
Gambia.
