Great movie. Does anyone know the casino it was shot in, and most importantly the beautiful £sterling chips used?

Are those Jockey mold chips??

The movie was released in 1998. That means the chips were probably made in '96 or '97 at the latest. When did the jockey mold become available? I thought it was later than that. They sure do look like JM though.

“Sat on the shelf for 2 years” = more likely filmed in 1994/1995.....

Def jockey mold chips.

I asked the film's production designer about the chips. His reply:

It was so long ago...! I seem to remember that my Set Decorator found a chip company that made them for us. Unfortunately she died a couple of years ago and I know that the Film Company won't have kept any records.

Jim B would definitely know. David Spragg too, probably. Also possible that the jockey mold was in Hispania's possession at that time.

It looks a little like the old Golden Nugget in Shaftesbury Avenue. David Spragg probably a good shout for the chips
