Help me choose a combo (1 Viewer)

[Mr.Gamakatsu]

For playing .05 blinds up to .25. Using ASM or CPS blanks or HS for nickels.

Option 1: Aria $1 and either the Greektown, Motor City (3 edgespots) ir the MGM Grand quarters.

Option 2: Foxwood $1 and either Argosy Alton (assuming these are not part of the batch that was returned and canceled) or Grand Victoria Casino.

I think I'm leaning slightly towards option 1 because I like having inlays vs HS.

Which of these do you think looks the best.

Which one is probably gonna be the easiest/cheapest to put together.


Thanks for your input as always!

Well, personally, I kind of like the Foxwoods more than the Aria with any of the three Detroit fractional chips.

The $1 chip is easy--it'll cost you a buck per chip of you go to either of those casinos. The fracs are harder to come by and are far more spendy.

I'd go with whichever frac I could get in quantity at a reasonable price, then pick the $1. But I think the Foxwoods $1 might be the better choice.

I suppose I could do the Foxwoods with any of the three top quarters as well.

That's basically the plan at this point.

The other thing is that I will probably buy less that a rack a time, probably a barrel or two, which I supposed lends itself to people harvesting them.

MGMs look bananas with the Foxwoods $1s. This is what you want. (Lifted this pic of another thread, where the poster is looking for the MGMs as well. You only need one rack of fracs for a single table.)

Plus, both are MGM-branded in this pic (Foxwoods isn't still MGM-branded, but you might find the older Foxwoods chips).

I've only been here for a year, but I've never seen greektown quarters for sale. So that option would not be the easiest to put together.

I've used the search tool and I don't think I've seen them pop up either, usually either mgm or motor city

I've seen Motor City somewhat frequently, MGM once in a great while, Greektown never.

I think Motor City looks best with Aria because both have darker inlays. Greek town and MGM look better with Foxwoods.

That's a good way to look at it. Thanks!

Uh huh. And how much are you selling them for?

option 2, with Argosy quarters

 

[upNdown]

I've never noticed chips with GPI hotstamped into them.
Was this a short-lived thing?

I have seen that on bunch of house molds.

I'd like to know more about that as well.

Not sure, but I've seen them with a H&C in the hot-stamp

 

[BGinGA]

Many regulatory bodies require a "manufacturer's mark" of some type to appear on value checks (sometimes non-value chips, too). Various regulatory rules define it differently..... and some accept the hat & cane mold impression(s) as such a mark. House molds in those jurisdictions require either a H&C on the house mold, or a separate manufacturer's mark on the inlay or hot-stamp. I've seen both used.

No clue what the rules are in Illinois, but it may be that just the hat & cane mold markings are not sufficient to meet their requirements.
