Casino Aztar (Caruthersville, MO) Pr0n, featuring the AS T5 (3 Viewers)

[bentax1978]

The Casino Aztar (Caruthersville, MO) are hands down one of my favorite sets. The shaped inlay, THC, leaded goodness is hard to beat. From the fractional to the hundred, the set is full of outstanding chips...except for that turd of a $5 chip that somehow made it into the line up. Different mold, giant inlay, and just plain fugly. Not to mention they're in much worse condition than the rest of the set. All-in-all the five dollar chip is a disaster.

However, thanks to @Gear and his magic milling machine, the Aztars have a new life and a new five. Milled from the AS T5 hotstamped tournament chips, the new Aztar five features a milled shaped recess and corresponding shaped/texture label. IMO, this chip looks like it is the $5 chips the Aztar set was always meant to have.

So without further ado, enjoy the pr0n!

Love it.

That 5 really does fit well. Awesome set!

 

[orsonberger]

Wow great choice and great work, congrats Sir (y) :thumbsup:

If I could ever find 2-3 racks of those ones, I might just stop looking for chips.

Man, you’re just pumping out the sets and great pr0n recently. This could be my favorite so far. Yes, even more than the Aruba Palm Beach. These Aztars are right up there with the PCA Secondaries in my book. And you don’t see many full Aztar MO sets! Awesome solution for the fugly $5 too. Really well done.

What about the Grand Casinos??

 

[Eastwik]

Man, these are soooo nice. Well done! Love what you did with the $5 so much.

Right. It never ends.

ok, it's nice, rest in peace little chips. Hey Bentax, I want to see you make something cool with the PCA set, need a 1k and 5k chip, just do it

 

[GIANTDustySquid]

You done well!

 

[gopherblue]

Wait...just realized the $5s are not leaded.

That will tilt me when playing with the set. Do not want.

I can count the number of times on one hand that I've actually needed $100 chips on the table when hosting, something tells me it might be a while before I need to get 1k and 5k chips on the table. Then again, since when did this hobby have much to do with actual need.

Gorgeous. The new $5, especially with the shaped inlay is the bomb.

I was thinking Tourney

 

[MikesDad]

Well done sir!

 

[superchromix]

Very nice. Would love to get my hands on a couple of racks of those 5s, or something similar.

 

[Numerobis]

Love what you're doing with your chips, and this set is no exeption

 

[moose]

The chip I really didn't like in the set was the $25 but for some reason it really works now with the $5.

 

[codeman00]

Great work on that $5 !!!! The set looks amazing!

 

[rimmerryan]

I am still trying to wrap my head around these... they look like they were made that way!
Awesome idea to use these for the set.
Incredible work by @Gear to get these milled and labeled to look legit original!

Thanks for sharing!

 

[johnjohn]

5's are very well done. congrats!

First half of the $5 chips (320/620) are officially complete! (there were actually only 20 prototypes in the previous pictures, strategically used to make it look more complete).

Re-label HOF.

When is the next game?

 

[bentax1978]

When is the next game?

So you can harvest four racks

 

[kk405]

Why, so you can harvest four racks

Let’s get the math straight... As of now, that would be 3.2 racks ... But i'll take it

At face value it wouldn’t be a bad move to harvest them
