Bring back poker rooms!!Without poker rooms, trying to harvest nowadays directly off of table games is an extremely pricey endeavor, particularly if u're not winning. I'd rather not say how much was gambled away while attempting to pocket these

And definitely Good Luck trying to hunt these down. The Hot Stamps are mixed in with plastics & Giant inlay RHCs, unfortunately all three versions are live and in the dealers' trays but the new Hot Stamp $1s are few and far between.

But after learning that, I will probably pass.Without poker rooms, trying to harvest nowadays directly off of table games is an extremely pricey endeavor, particularly if u're not winning.

@CacheCreekCollector or anyone
Are there any casinos/cardrooms worth harvesting anywhere around bay area? Sacramento? Even out in Tahoe/ Reno? I was considering going all the way up to that hardrock joint for the hotstamps. But that sounds like a bust. Anything worth going for in NorCal??? I'm taking a family road trip soon and sure would love to cover gas/expenses with a couple racks here and there.

@jja412 You can say that again!
Nothing comes to mind @casinochipper22. The Oaks Club and the California Grand both use Bud Jones. I think M8trix Casino's chips are clay but this joint has the most ugly mold & nasty color schemes imaginable. And The Palace in Hayward recently just switched from very old bicycle tire THCs to some nasty plastic crap that's not even Bud Jones
.The only Indian casinos that I know of with open poker rooms are Graton Casino and Thunder Valley. U may wanna check out their pics on the Chipguide before deciding to make any long drives to these tribal reservations. Hope that u have safe travels on the road & enjoy your family trip up to Nor Cal.

Red white and blue? Not sure. I don't have any of those paulson color chips. They are current circus circus LV chips. Maybe info is out there somewhere

Stones has great chips but at this point I doubt you’d find many sharp chips. Can’t really say though as I’ve never made the trip up there. @kmccormick100 could tell you as he’s played there pre pandemic.
I do like a few of the Graton chips but again, if they were worth harvesting I guarantee some of our local crew would’ve grabbed some years ago
The stones poker room $2s are relatively sharp and probably the only ones worth harvesting on that side. On their table game side there are also a different $2 chip I’ve never had any luck getting.
This is the best live $5 chip out there now. Change my mind.

Ballys is better!
The alternating 412 $5, Right? But they're house molds....
Kidding. Yeah, they're absolutely dead sexy. Yummy radiant red and pastel edge spot colors on that one.
I see Ballys poker room opens back up @casinochipper22
A nice haul indeed!
What are the conditions of the Circus Circus $5's overall these days?
Good work!
Really good actually. For a live $5 chip. Just as good as their 1s. I'll pm you a better pic
I got 2 racks of wynn. I can go through them and grab the sharp ones for you?
Yeaaahhh
Anyone have a recent trip report for harvesting chips from Encore Boston Harbor? Can I walk out with a rack in my hand, or does it require more of an inconspicuous operation?

The poker hall is closed and so the cage is likely as well. For now that means no racks. When/if they open up fully again, I had no problem asking the cage for racks of anything however that was still when the LV cage managers (Brian and Cindy iirc) were running the show. They’ve likely passed it off to the full time Boston managers and who knows what their policy directives are now. As for the chips… they’re a good house mold that shouldn’t see to many RHC like nicks but they’ve been in play for years (plural) now so who knows for sure. I haven’t been since pre Covid.
Best guess is the watermelon/ black $2s are still good and the $10s/$20s as well. Past that is anyones guess however they were supposed to get new inventory in the spring when Covid started up.
Here is my small harvest from last week. Pretty happy with them and surprised how sharp the Mirage $1s are.
those mirage $1s are gorgeous
that is a new strat $5. did they still have the older version with the gold foil around the inlay?
Limited edition version. The regular "snakeskins" were stull in play. I think there is a Sammy Hagar version (chip guide) Obverse side:
IKR, how sharp they were I had to get a few just because. And the Mirage is going implosion soon.
