Aw, and those poor NAGB's that are orchestrated strictly for profit are barely turning out a 5x profit.

Yes, RFID tag hidden beneath the inlay, has a separate clay layer (different clay color than color of chip), so yes definite cost increase.
Also has serial number on the RFID itself that can be read with the RFID reader, like anti-theft tags with serial numbers encoded.
Not Alphadot, not obvious from pics. Can barely tell if flashed under strong UV light. I know most Vegas $100s or $500s and up have them, except RW is $1s and up,.
Another Las Vegas hotstamp $1. The Strat.

Pai Gow. They upped the Progressive bonus bet from $1 to $2.

Certainly don’t foresee any issues with the $1 and $100 being confused. It’s not like they’re both the similar in color or anything. God these chips are fuckin ugly man
I’m guessing those are the chips. If it was just for marketing purposes I don’t think they would go thru the efforts of making branded chips, they would just use dice chips lol

Spend billions on a luxury resort.
Cheap out on the chips that will help pay off the resort. Interesting choice..
They think not having dirt on the clay molds = clean luxury experience unlike other strip casinos like Wynn.

From my own personal experience of working in a casino, I think its more of people in the decision making process of purchasing chips not really knowing much about chips or chip history. We had an EXTREMELY high up person not know anything about Paulsons if that tells you anything. Most of the people in those positions are not super into Poker or chip/table games. 90% of revenue in casinos come from slots.
Isn’t Wynn like super luxury? I’ve never associated clean chips with a good property. I’ve noticed that ceramic chips are usually found a shitholes or meh casinos. The good ones that are billing themselves as a “luxury” resort are gonna drop the cash for Matsui, Abbiati, or BJ’s. The weight of the chips I think matter a lot to people as well. Nobody wants to play with some light Icon piece of shit that might as well just be a dice chip. At least I don’t and I’m not gonna rush to give my money to a casino that does. If I’m gambling it’s a rare occasion and I’m not inclined to spend it with some shitter chips.

Truer words never spoken.
You don't gamble much, so your opinion is worth less than nothing.
Look at these chips. They are probably slippery. If you had won 3 stacks of them at a table game, you would probably be happy to get colored up. Now you are gambling $25s instead of $5s - it's expected profit for the casino.
Fontainebleau doesn't have a poker room. These aren't poker chips, they're casino cheques. Money, worth the value printed on them. Nothing more, nothing less.
For those of you old enough to remember writing paper checks... did you value the check more if it had a pretty image on the check? Did you ever not cash a check because you liked the image on the paper?
Stop overthinking our hobby. Most of us love pretty chips. The rest of the world only loves what they can get for them (that includes NAGB sellers on PCF).
So true, I know at the end of the day those who aren’t big gamblers are just a small fish in a big pond. The $2k I might lose in a weekend is one persons line bet. But, at least for me since it’s not a frequent occasion I will continue to give my business to casinos using nice chips. Went my whole trip to Vegas without playing once with shitty chips. But for me, unlike most, I enjoy the chips as much as the gambling so a bad chips is a big knock on the experience for me. And when one day the casinos go to only have shitter chips *cough* Fontainebleau *cough* I will just gamble less and play more home games. Seriously, who the fuck wants to wager $25K with a chip that feels like it came from Walmart. I get they’re out there, but why lol.

Maybe casinos stopped carrying nice chips because people keep “forgetting to turn in” the $1 Paulsons. But the shitty chips never seem to go missing

I bet they’re doing this for the annual BARGE poker player meetup. If anyone is around GVR in the next couple months, HMU, I have a profitable mission for you
In Vegas high limit rooms such as $100 $200 and $500 blackjack or baccarat tables, high rollers smack chips to the tables everyday, mostly $100s and $500s. I’ll say baccarat tables are worse. Gamblers don’t care, but they don’t like dirty chips for sure.
They stack up $100s a lot, so stacking well is important.
If I’m not a chipper, I’d still prefer RHC or RHC sized house molds, like Bellagio, Monte Carlo, and most strip chips except garbage Cromwell/Linq chips.
