Looks like the MGM Grand is following suit;

Not ideal, but way better than the small inlay that has replaced the regular on so many chips.

Thanks for sharing! Even though I work with these chips all day long, I really only hear about new chips coming out via forums.

It’s a really nice stamp

I’ll take 2 racks.

The little hat and cane is cute.

Still waaaaay better than going to an ICON chip.

I saw a Linq hotstamp on ChipGuide has been updated from icon to hotstamp. Image courtesy of the chip guide.

I think there’s a Nevada rule that says the makers mark or whatever has to be on every chip. It just seems odd to me that it’s incorporate into, or overlapping, the MGM’s logo.

house mold hot stamp? Love it.

Doesn't look bad at all.

The $1 denom feels like an afterthought/needs a better border around it, but aside from that I actually love these way more than the small inlay version. (Hell, maybe the large inlay ones too). Maybe they’ll do the $3 too for a dope $9/18 limit set

Clearly a missed top hat placement/integration opportunity

My absolute favorite Vegas $1 and I knew this was going to be the eventual end-state for a chip series that had the cleanest and IMO most attractive inlay design. Great color matching (I used that for inspiration for one of my custom sets) and totally coherent as a full lineup as a chip set. It's almost like a chipper, or at least someone who cared was responsible for the design.

The smaller inlays took away a lot of the impact they had, but this is kind of soul-crushing.



At a minimum, the lion looks like it's wearing a tiny top-hat for comedic effect, like it's saying "see what casino chips have come to? A tiny, cardboard party hat."

Are they changing the base to a teal? The old version I have are a pretty standard blue color

I don't have one in hand, but my guess is that's just the scan/photo. It would be strange to have two slightly different color chips of the same value in play at the same time.

time to start a MGM set

That’s a photoshopped pic

I think that's a nice looking Hotstamped chip

Strangely, bellagio has gone back to inlays on their $1
