Sorry, only have a sample of the 43mm chips, but they seem to work well.

I also threw a barrel of 39mm ASM chips in there too (Roman Mold) to check the barrel size. Looks to be in the 67.1mm range, with minimal excess space. Excellent fit in terms of thickness.

Bonus, brand new 39mm Chipcos fit snug. A tad tighter in the center 3 barrels, but not concerning.

So, I tested the Matsui racks, Palm Gaming racks, and Spinettis Baccarat 43mm racks. I only had stacks of Boardwalk chips to test (and at this time my only concern).

The fit is definitely best with the Palm Gaming racks. the Boardwalk 43mm chips are very snug and fit perfectly in these racks. The worst is the Matsui racks. The chips are very loose, but the advantage is that these racks fit in the standard bird cage. Lastly, the Spinettis. The fit is a bit looser than Palm Gaming racks and as expected, they don't fit in the birdcage either. So, although they don't fit in the standard birdcages, my vote is for the Palm Gaming racks for when I order my large set of Boardwalks in Group Buy #2.

Do you know if the Matsui racks fit 44m CPCs. It sound like they might.

I only had 3 barrels of 43mm Boardwalks that I borrowed from @Mental Nomad for testing. The fit wasn't ideal and the chips were very loose. Although the racks fit in the standard birdcage. I wish someone had figured this thing out. Matsui-size rack length-wise and width would be based on the Palm Gaming racks .... how difficult is this, for gods sake!

Would you mind testing CPCs if I sent you a barrel. I'll need them back, so I'd send you $7 to ship em back.

So, has anyone tried to see if a manufacturer is willing to make the CORRECT size 43mm stack able acrylic racks? and what the cost/minimums could look like? given how many GBs are going on and how many 43mm chips have been and are being ordered, I think a GB for the racks could potentially happen. The dimensions should be a combination of Matsui and Palm Gaming racks that would fit in a birdcage, hold 100 chips, etc. And of course at a reasonable price! who do we contact for making this anyway?

Anybody here ordering or have any of the PGI 43mm racks that wants to sell and ship me 2 of them?

 

[kk405]

I am going to order some more in a few weeks, after finalizing the Boardwalk/Iron Bank order. I can probably ship you a couple, but not sure about the cost of shipping to Canada. You can check and let me know.

 

[kwmatt]

I don't think it would be too much. but it may be more cost effective for me to pick some up when I'm in Vegas in July. If and when you get yours and you remember about me, drop me a line and we'll see where we're at.

Joe @PGI has the Chinese manufacturing contacts and prior experience designing and ordering new chip racks from them. Don't know if he has the interest, time, or patience to do so, however.

If anyone is within a reasonable distance of a casino that uses oversized chips they usually have a bunch of oversized racks scattered on the floor in the high limit room. I know for sure Borgata always does. And you can walk out with one with no one giving you a second look so long as you're not a clueless jackass about it.

I'm guessing "no" to at least 2 out of 3

I am definitely down for this! I think the community needs proper racks for their beloved chips! Will get in touch with Joe to see if it is reasonable to do a group buy together or get PGI interested in doing it for us.

Anyone bought 43mm racks from Spinettis?

 

[kk405]

I Just placed an order for 20x43mm racks to PGI. Shipping was free, with a total cost of $84. If you need some, might be a good time to order as they sometimes have very high shipping costs. Getting ready for my Mayfair Club chips (y) :thumbsup:
