Welcome to the home of the
Nevada Casino Front-Strike Matchcover Guide.
The images
of covers and full matchbooks contained herein were made possible by
the generosity of the following collectors: Mark Englebretson,
for his extensive generosity with his collection of classic Nevada
matchcovers, Ron Clewell, Harriett Cohen, Doug Deems, Sandie & Norm
Elliott, Joe DeGennaro, Pam Goertler, Don Lueders, Jim Munding, Rick,
Olsen, Steve Passalacqua, Michael Petty, Pete Porro, Lance Robertson,
Dave Smith, Sheldon Smith, Edwin Sugai and Gene Trimble. If you
have rare or interesting matchcovers from Nevada casinos that you don't
see here, I would appreciate the opportunity to exhibit an image of
them here. Please contact me at the e-mail address below.
Some of the matchcovers shown below are from locations that have not been positively confirmed to have had gaming, but are shown because the name of the establishment, the location or other clue on the cover indicate a possible link to a known casino. The covers are not arranged in chronological order. Some covers may appear to be duplicates, but have minor variations that may be difficult to spot at first glance. Some covers may be from locations that didn't have gaming, but have some connection with gaming or were affiliated with a gaming establishment.
I am a member of the Casino Matchcover Club. Please contact me if you'd like more information on the club and how to join. I am also a member of the Casino Chip & Gaming Token Collectors Club. For more information, you may visit the CCGTCC website at: www.ccgtcc.com
