Found Dealer buttons! (1 Viewer)

[GamblingGardener]

Hey, guys! I’m looking for a nice dealer button for my home game. I collect chips from NV and OH, so a button that falls into one of those categories would be great!

@Himewad job for you!!!

Go to the Group Buys section and search on @Himewad He is the DB guru here and has run several DB group buys, so if you look at his threads you can see some of the buttons that have been produced recently. Then you can find one you like to ask for here specifically.

I will tell you that BR Pro Poker, the company we generally use to make DBs will not make a button for a casino that is still in operation, so you may need to limit yourself to closed Vegas casinos. There are some recently made buttons for some Cleveland and Cincinnati casinos.

Great advice. Thanks so much. I checked the open group buys, but I didn’t see anything that caught my eye. Will look through the recently produced soon, but I’m hoping to find genuine buttons.

I saw your r/poker thread. Awesome comments section there. And I know the guy who made your table. Can’t help you with buttons but it’s nice to see you here.

OK, I didn't realize there was such as thing. Assuming you mean actual dealer buttons used in the casinos. Either way, if they are out there, James will know about them.

Since a DB is not worth anything at the tables, I wonder if the casinos sell them in their gift shops? Have you looked online at any casino web sites?

According to this thread - casinos use generic Dealer buttons similar to the plain white ones that just say DEALER on them. Which is what I was thinking. There are different levels of quality as seen in this thread. But this would also mean there is no way to tell a Las Vegas DB from a Reno DB from an Atlantic City DB. Unless I'm still missing some part of your request.

They are out there, but they seem to be few and far between based on responses from other chipping groups. Checking casino sites themselves might be a good idea. I’ve never really done that when looking for collectibles.

Yeah, casinos don’t really have snazzy dealer buttons as far as I’m aware. I always just see the plain white ones.

The Paulson clay Palms button you posted might be an exception, but it’s a rare exception. Are you looking for anything specific?

Hi! I’m not looking for anything specific beyond the buttons being authentic and branded to a particular property. But if those don’t really exist, there’s not much to be done other than settle for reproductions or some custom artwork.
If that’s the case, I’m happy to take a look at what’s out there. I’m also wondering how hard it would be to get the artwork from the chips I bought put onto a high-quality button.

 

[Himewad]

It's pretty easy to get it done. Just find a designer. Your example looks to be pretty simple, so I doubt it would require much time to lay that out.

Send me a PM if you want me to help out.

The little texture marks on that chip remind me of the textured plain mold chips made by our Chinese cards mold company. I think your design would make an excellent dealer button, but if you want the edge spots, fair warning, our usual button maker BR Pro Poker doesn't do aligned edges on their 60mm DBs that we usually order from them. I know because I wanted to do the same design from the Bounty chip below and they wouldn't do it. Not even for an extra charge.

The cards mold company has several size options as shown below. The Bounty chip above is on the 43mm blank. All the blanks below are only 3.3mm thick, the same as their poker chips, except for the 52MM which is 5MM thick. If I were doing a DB from this company, I would choose that thicker blank.

Not yet, but that’s a good idea. Does it count if I bought them rather than designing them myself?

Not at all, it's a showcase aka show and tell for adults mileage may vary, we can't all be Casa Mangos

I love your table and the pattern on the felt! Beautiful colors.

That betting line is a bit of a reach for people on the ends though!

Hi! That thread was a blast. We have since done a poker game with humans, and everyone enjoyed the setup.

I don’t come here that often because for some reason I get flamed deconstructively criticized for the things I collect. But it’s nice for technical assistance or to find unique items that don’t seem to be available in the other groups I frequent.
