This very rare Purple Eldorado card is currently in the classified section of Jackpot auctions.
A little background.
Most people that collect slot cards are probably aware of the five levels of cards now issued by the Eldorado. The Red, Gold, Gold Plus, Platinum and Black Presidential. The most common card and of course easiest to obtain is the red one. A little more difficult is the gold and even the Gold Plus cards are sometimes found on the machines. But the Platinum and Black are another story. The reason these two cards are so hard to get is because possession of either one is an open door to all the casino ammenities--including free food, rooms, show tickets, just about anything. Casino personal are NOT allowed to hand out blanks and they monitor all the ones with names on them very carefully.
If you happen to have either of these to cards, consider yourself lucky.
Now then, to the point. Most people are not even aware of the 6th card--The purple one. This was used for a very short period of time and was told were issued to VIP's and has a higher value even than the Black presidential card.
This is the one shown on Jackpot auction. It is definately for the discrimining collector. Once again as is mentioned in the auction, the actual color of this card is deep purple and cannot be seen clearly in its natual form, therefore I have lightened up the card so the details could be seen.
