Chips have a holographic security feature on the inlay: hold the chip one direction, little "linoleum squares" appear. Turn it the other way, and circles (with dots in them) show up instead.

Newly designed $25 chip, replaces the BG chips that were released only last year. Inlay is holographic, circles and squares appear as the chip is held obliquely, as with the older $25 and all other BG chip denominations of the new 2018 series. "Barona" is in a glittery dark red.

Plastic Dragons Mold chip, like CG 005886, same shade of light blue, but without gold hot-stamping on either side. Found with a stack of other $1 blue tokens, all of which were hot-stamped. (Unlikely a swap meet vendor would have acquired a Blank Dragon chip to add to the supply.)

Old soft-plastic keyfob, 1-5/8" X 1-5/8" square. Possibly the first keyfob issued at the casino. Old Spanish-mission logo, and address of 1000 Barona Road (not that of the current casino buildings). On the reverse it lists Pan 9 as a game - don't think the casino currently offers that on a regular basis.
