Circa knows what to do for chips like A+ having BG high denom plaques, but not Fontainebleau.

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.

I have to admit: Living in a casino-less state, I look for card rooms every time I take a trip. First I see "do they have poker", then I check the chipguide to see what their chips look like,

...but I'm also a small fish, and since Fontainebleau doesn't have poker, It is likely I will never see their chips.

Love. That casino. Sports book is Amazing!

LOL@haters, those Fontainebleau chips look awesome. Such a fun and well executed design.

Seriously can't tell if this is sarcasm or if that is really how you feel. People have such extremely different tastes in chips im assuming you are sincere. I've seen worse... but these do absolutely nothing for me. To each there own. Respect.

Las Vegas Strip:

Paulson clay: all casinos except Cromwell and Linq
Icon ceramic: Cromwell and Linq

Then add Gemaco? Do you all think they're Gemaco? Wear like Trop Evansville chips??

I have all the current Vegas Strip house $100s EXCEPT Cromwell and Linq, Fontainbleau might added to this list.

For reference, see below. Only non-clay you see here is CC ceramic $100 which is obsolete.

I think we’ll have to wait for actual pics to get a better idea.

Wynn and Starlight need more letters on the inlay. Logo and denom, that's all?

And here's the no-namer, who knows there are bunch of tribal communities with the Dream Catcher logo. Actually San Manuel in CA.

Found what kind of junk Fontainebleau (too long so I will call F) will be getting.

Yep ugly cheap plastic chips

Similar to these with the ugly black center:

They don't seem to be Gemaco
Looks like they're Icons per: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...ordova-whats-going-on-with-these-chips.27062/

Those are so weird. I thought the Fontainebleau design with the black center dot was a design, not the actual chip structure.

Where’s the puke emoji?

Do any of the Vegas casinos have commemorative F1 chips? I’ll be there next week ahead of the race and might want to harvest some.

Hmm. Hopefully one of the casinos drops something with a more F1 specific design for next week. A la the Paulson Vegas Grand Prix chips from way back...

Google the Nevada gaming chip and token report.

Unfortunately it is not published anymore so it is more difficult to know when new chips are out.

Lol, 2021, about the same time they noticed people were looking at it and discussing it.

Yep - the government produced a report that was useful and nobody was using it to prove a political point. So obviously it was trashed.

 

[WedgeRock]

Wow! Is the base color of that chip just red?

Even if it is, it's a great looking chip.

I'd be interested to see if you find anything. Based on what I've read about F1 trying to charge exorbitant Licensing Fees to restaurants along the strip with views of the race, I'd be somewhat surprised if F1 allowed any use of F1 logos or graphics on casino chips, without charging exorbitant licensing fees to the casinos.

There might be other generic chips like the Turn 4 chip at Ellis Island above.

Royal Red if I had to guess (which I do, since I’m not where my sample set is)

Any updates? @dmoney

I’ve played at MGM and Bellagio and haven’t seen any commemorative chips, and I doubt I’ll make it to Ellis Island for their “Turn 4” $5s. My harvest/interest thread got taken down.

 

[casinochipper22]

My harvest/interest thread got taken down.

Why did it get taken down?

 

[Okku]

As far as I know of casinos with some sort of commemorative for F1 is Ellis Island and Downtown Grand at the moment.

Just picked up some Ellis Island Turn 4 $5s and saw someone post about the Downtown Grand chips last night on ChipBoard.

 

[djmarc]

This is from Chipboard-

Nice cropping, lol.
