TTSS Enterprises Incorporated was the name of Jay E. Tucker's incorporated business that owned his card rooms. Some of these chips may have been used in more than one of his card rooms.

Tucker, was dubbed the "King of Sacramento County Card Rooms" by The Gambling Scene magazine in 1980. In Sacramento he owned the Embers Casino, and the "Nashville West Card Room #2" which became his "River City Casino". In neighboring North Highlands he owned the Nashville West Card Room #3 which became his "Tex's Saloon & Casino".
