GEMACO Eagle Aruba Chips - Info & Review (3 Viewers)

[Tommy]

GEMACO chips, produced by GPI Corp in 2019. The casino opened 03/2019 and closed sometime in 2020 most likely due to Covid.

A brief history: GEMACO was acquired by GPI in 2014. In 2019, GPI merged with Angel Holdings. This explains why these chips are found in Bud Jones racks, as Bud Jones is another chip brand under GPI/Angel.

My thoughts: These chips are high-quality, injection-molded with a metal insert. GEMACO offered various edge finish options, and this particular style features sharp edges. I compared these directly with my other favorite injection-molded chips, the Bud Jones S2 line. I like them both equally.

This is a small cash set I bought directly from @TheChipVault. The Eagle Aruba chips also include yellow $2.50 chips and black primary $100 chips, which I don’t have.

Now time for photos....

I feel like you’re trying to directly sell me this set @Tommy

Ugh. I want.

Ugh. I want.

I recommend them too. I got some of both hundreds just cause I wasn’t sure which I liked better.

Which one do you like better? I think prefer the black $100 (reminds me of the Borgata $100) but I felt there may not be enough contrast with the $25.

I’ll primarily use the black unless somebody complains. I’ll post some pictures later of the stacks together, the $25 and black $100. The background palette is different and the edge spots are really easy to tell apart.
