GPI/BCC Spotted Hot Stamps (2 Viewers)

[Forty4]

I would have to speak with the sales manager from GPI about it, but I can certainly bring it up. However, I do believe that they won't do less than 1,000 of any one chip.

Will we be allowed to do a second order with the dies?

Will we be allowed to do a second order with the dues?

I would have to find out. I haven't spoken to the GPI sales manger much about numbers yet. I will open a separate thread for that when the cash and tournament sets are finalized.

For those who run large fields tournament, T25K is required at some point.

But since it might be difficult to reach 1000 units for this denom what about a plaque for the T25K ?

I would be totally on board for that. It could be done through whichever vendor does the dealer buttons and bounties.

I would love to get a sample set of whatever the final is, wish I could buy a full set.

honestly , the cali colors that you have to work with in this blue chip line do not look that great together.

I respectfully disagree. I think the yellow is the best color in the set and why not build around that. Yes a more vibrant blue would be desired but to me it’s better than dirty white. Plus the S4 pattern could be used as a nod to the Flamingo chip that everyone holds in such high regards.

This shows the blue next to the yellow and plenty of distinction between the two. Use the cranberry for the frac. My games don’t get more than the fives on the table and even if you need a 25 you should be able to come up with something that works if the lavender doesn’t give enough contrast.

Hopefully that doesn’t come across to harsh.

Bad idea to have two different chips using the same base color. Also a bad idea offering alternate stamps on certain chips.

Even just asking is a bad idea. It's not something that their target market would ever conceivably consider doing.

Gotta put on your 'casino/cardroom' procurement manager hat and think appropriately regarding how a tourney set would be configured. Anything else puts the project success at risk of failure.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I really feel that we need to ask as little from GPI as possible.

Secondary set.

Agree with the point and part of the reason I was inquiring about a second run with the dies.

 

[BGinGA]

Will we be allowed to do a second order with the dies?

Generally speaking, yes. You are paying for the tooling, although it is typically retained at the factory for future use. Once it leaves their possession, however, they will not accept it back or re-use it.

I totally understand. I just think that GPI is definitely not unwilling to say 'no' if one too many requests are made. We have to make this project as easy for them as possible.

Fair enough, just thought I’d ask.

Certainly a casino/cardroom would never share chips (5, 25, 100) between cash and tournament sets....right?

I am willfully ignoring that these chips are only supposed to be used for $2.50 and below or NCV

What will be the price per chip on these?

(apologies if I missed it)

Price starts around $0.95 per chip but goes down if enough are purchased.

 

[JoeBGo]

The more I look at it, the more that T5000 tilts me too hard. I might have to sit this one out.

I liked the lavender T500 which put the sky blue as T5000 the best

To clarify, are you saying that getting the set made with the fracs and $1 chips puts the project at risk? If that's the case, then that sucks.

My hat's off to MoscowRadio. I know how stressful this can be.

I wouldn't think so, so long as they don't have currency on them. The Paulson Elite line has .25 and 1 chips and was produced by the same company.

 

[v1pe]

I believe what BG was saying is that this order is different than something from say Sunfly, where there are many more variations that will be ordered as folks "customize" their set within the given parameters. Something like swapping the 500 and 5k chips.

 

[200 Motels]

I like this. (.25/ $1 / $5 / $25 / $100 / $500 / $1000 / $5000). I really don't see a need for a 25k chip unless there's someone who's going host an awful big tourney, like a 10 table tourney still wouldn't need to use a T25,000 chip. Is anyone ordering 10 tables worth of these?

 

[BGinGA]

Any chip with a currency value larger than $2.50 definitely risks scrutiny and/or rejection.

A T1 chip, or a ncv no-denom chip probably would not.

I wouldn't think so, so long as they don't have currency on them. The Paulson Elite line has .25 and 1 chips and was produced by the same company.

True, same company, but handled by totally different sales groups, and intended for a totally different market (promotional chips, vs actual casino ncv chips and low-denomination cash checks). The criteria for each is different.


I'd just hate to see this turn out to be a 'we shot ourselves in the foot' effort. There have been many, many more unsuccessful attempts to pull off this type of order than stories with happy endings.

Some nice combos here. I think the tourney chip design is locked in though. I hope that there is still some leeway with the cash design, and I hope that the T5, T25, and T100 don't share the same design as their "cash" counterparts.

 

[v1pe]

I liked the idea of a solid non-denominated chip to be used as a frac or a bounty/buy in chip. I wouldn't think that would draw much scrutiny.

It would be too bad if to the 5-100 had to share a design between the two sets, but I could understand if it went that direction.

^This approach makes the most sense to me, provided the pink chip is ncv, allowing it to be used as either 25c, 50c, or T25k. All colors are also used (no maroon or light blue base chips).

(FWIW, I run a two-table T20k event that always gets T25k chips in play, although not many.)

The tourney set design was finalized yesterday.

 

[superchromix]

These look great. Of the two coral chips, I think the coral/maroon combo is stronger.

One chip base color we haven't considered is camel. Would be interesting to mock up a camel base with black 314 edge spots to see what this looks like, possibly to go in place one of the coral base chips above.

 

[ovo]

Don't really like Camel as a base color, but if I did , I would go with Black spots, Black and Tan baby

The green and yellow chips are the only two that are close to the real color representations, try using the colors I came up with that are near matches to the colors we will be using, (I think on page 9 near the bottom), to give people a better idea on what it might look like.
