Las Vegas trip report - Goodbye Bally's (12/14 - 12/22) (2 Viewers)

[cpac54]

The cage asked me what I thought. I said the only way they could be worse is if they were Ceramic. I said the person responsible should be fired. I won’t waste time even getting a sample set, hate RHC chips. At least I knew 2 days early and put everything into harvesting Ballys in place of saving cash for the new chips. RIP to the last textured shaped inlaid 5 in Vegas.

I mean, at least they don’t have full chip labels with printed & aligned edge spots….

200x$1, please.

Those hundreds look familiar

I mean these chips are so bad I need to consider a different Vegas poker home. Caesars really shit the bed on these.

In for updates! have a great trip

I wonder what those $5's would look like with a better inlay.

They'd still be lame

Really shouldn’t be a surprise I suppose after seeing the various WSOP sets they put out this year.

$1000 is oversized that’s good, and kept the Bally’s tradition. Huge shame they quit using this beautiful 8V 43mm

Huh…. Those $5’s might just be what I need for my set. They look like they’ll coordinate well with my color scheme. They’re not THC’s but that might be fine for me. I’ll take a look in person when I’m there in January.

Those inlays are... functional.

Yeah. Every chip is horrid compared to the Ballys rack.

Well, since @slisk250 is to good for these chips, I will be out there there in one week from now, next weekend. Happy to grab some chips for anyone interested. PM me so we don't derail this thread.

After seeing more photos of these surface I am changing my opinion of the $5's. No thank you.

Got any closeup shots of the $100? Looks way to close to the Jumers for comfort haha

Does anyone have Jumer's 100's for sale? asking for a friend, and for science...

Reverse harvesting.

Hey PCF friends

I had a horrible flight to Vegas with plenty of delays…arrived after almost 14h flying, 11 non stop.

Like a rock, Mike was there to pick me up and I was checked in and in my room in no time. Rufus was already playing the label table and when Mike and wanted to play there was no seat available.

So I shopped at cvs, took a shower and after some food I played until this morning. Had a great breakfast with Rufus (cookies) and some time to chitchat.

Mike will join us soon and we’ll see where the day brings us…will keep you’all posted.

Here are the tournament chips:

Wow, of all the colors available, this is the one chosen to be the edgespot throughout all chips?
A head-scratcher.

 

[Poker Zombie]

Horseshoe manager ordering solids for the tournament set...

Manager: "I'd like NCV tournament chips. Black 100, blue 500, yellow 1000, orange 5000, pink 25000"
GPI Rep: "...and pink 25,000. What color would you like for the spots?"
Manager: "I dont give a shit about spots"
GPI Rep: "...shit spots"

Did someone have a bucket of poo-colored paint? WTF?

 

[kmccormick100]

You guys need to inquire about acquiring these...

Here are the tournament chips:

Actually these are well thought out.

When tourney players don't wash their hands after a trip to the bathroom, the stains will be much harder to see.

Beats the time my buddy played with a guy who had his colostomy bag out on the table.

Gives new meaning to the expression "puke-fold."

One reason to just buy-in and get the chips after playing a few hands, oh for harvesting of course

Gross spot.

 

[BiGGyT]

Kinda like the $5k, harvest colors?

Colon orange with shit spots. Good choice.

Colon orange with shit spots. Good choice.

Would pair nicely with the Jumar pee/poo $1s…

Epic fail on my part. I never considered harvesting tourny chips or even asking about them. last week would have been the perfect time.
