I wonder if they even would order $2.50 chips since every place is 6:5 on the strip (below high limits).
Agree won’t happen on the strip ever. All 6:5 except high limits with $100 to $500 minimum. Some electronic tables pay even money, maybe that’s the future.

Most likely:
$1 $5 $25 $100 $500 $1K $5K $25K $100K
?

Then I need all the chips up to $500 denom but I don’t want to go there.
 
They were scheduled to open 12/13, anyone planning on going and checking out the casino and chips? I won't be able to go until next Oct, so curious about what people think of the place, and have been watching the drama since initial bankruptcy so really interested in how it turned out.
 
Bumping this -- FB opens tomorrow. Anyone heading over to check it out? Lets see some chip photos...

If you can get an images of their craps, roulette, & BJ layout that be awesome I am curious how their table games look. Also their minimums if possible.
 
Whatever happened to these chips?
The "2" and "20" are known quantities of those chips. All of these chips are "samples" that were given/created before the Fontainebleau opened so I'm not sure if they even got to full production with racks and racks of these chips considering the casino never opened. It's possible, but I doubt it.

These pictures are not the best, but I played at Parkwest Cordova in California in 2018 and they had these chips. They are the weirdest chips I have ever encountered.

This series of pics show the chip intact and both sides with their labels removed.

Then I got into trying to deconstruct the chips because I could see that there was something going on inside the chips on the side with the small pinholes. So I pulled out the Dremel and went to town. I was able to expose some copper wiring that was difficult to capture in pics but you can obviously see the green casing in the first pic, and the other two pics are attempts to show the copper insides. The cross section of the chip didn’t really work out but it is cool in it’s own way.

This is when things started to get weird. I have no idea what the center of the chip is. The Dremel barely put a dent in it (the first pic shows the results of a good minute of me trying to cut the thing in half) and one of the cheap chip fridge magnets was able to pick 4 of the chips up off the table all stuck together. I don't know if it is some sort of security feature but it's crazy tough.

Looks like the chips could be very secure, but from a chipper standpoint, they are fine for adding a single chip to your collection, but playing with them was underwhelming.
 
Want to microwave both Resorts World $1 and Fountain $1.

RW $1 caught fire and copper wire showed up from secondary clay layer in blue.
