Angel playing cards in Tokyo, Japan (1 Viewer)

[greenchip]

Where in Tokyo, Japan can one buy Angel playing cards in-person? Can they be bought in businesses easily accessed by the wonderful Japanese public transportation system (trains)?

Also, I know Venetian Palazzo uses Angel cards on their tables, smaller elegant numbers and suits. Venetian Palazzo was the first casino to see a live $5,000 chip, so I want the same brand. Again, obsessed with smaller elegant numbers.

I'm not going there, but someone I know with no interest in poker/chips is.

I remember I had Angel playing cards 20 years ago, but I lost it so I want it. Image: https://www.angelplayingcards.com/en/products/#section2

$5,000 Palazzo chip (Paulson house mold 43mm)

Japanese transportation system is 10/10. You can drink inside the train and nobody cares as of 2015. In Japan, the train takes you to the destination, unlike you take yourself to the destination in the US by driving.

@grandmeme found some club pokers at Yodobashi Umeda, though that's in Osaka. I've only been able to find the ones you can get from Amazon in Tokyo, though it's worth a try!

Gonna be back in Japan later this year to hunt more angels

I see… you’re first $5k chip. Congrats on that.

I thought you meant it was the first Vegas casino to issue a live $5k chip.

Thanks yeah I’m just so happy about it even after a few years.

First casino to issue one was Horseshoe? Horseshoe mold 39mm brown $5k?

I like high denoms a lot since start of chipping, so they’re tempting…
