We need to talk about that inlay though, it’s gotta go. I have never murdered RHCs, is it about the same as THCs or at least not worse?

Well, I doubt the inlays are paper, so it can't be worse.

I actually really kind of like these inlays

Same. The Horseshoe and Jacks inlays didn't really do it for me. Different tastes...

Lets take a moment and compare them to the disaster chips that replaced them.
Even with a fix, they're awful.

 

[Eriks]

Paulsons at least

That does make it easier of course

About the same. No paper inlays is the important part!

 

[Skagglio]

the disrespect i've seen on the $500pri. i'm glad. they're me and my friends' favourite chip from the whole lot.

Shhhh

 

[HeWhoWouldPun]

Does anybody else feel like if these pre-sale threads were a picture, they would look like this?

Yeah, probably just me. But I know I'm waiting and hoping to receive these sweet, sweet chippies.

I always envision it more like this:

@TheChipRoom
I'm curious about the "behind the scenes."

Does the casino just literally dump all the chips off the tables directly into metal barrels?

What about the secondaries? Are they just dumped from where they were stored?

Did you provide the barrels, it did the casino? Why metal barrels (drums)?

Why info about the process would satisfy my curiosity.

The casinos do it all, I have no input normally.

 

[WedgeRock]

Too bad that spot looks like Butterscotch on the Grand $5 and not Arc Yellow...

Secondary
$5 - Red, Butterscotch, Tan

 

[buffalojim]

Not a fan of dark inlays, usually. These chips have to murderized.

 

[toothpic]

I figured the barrel scale had a tare button.
My bad.

so i see it as (assuming 50 pounds for steel drum and hardware bolts used to seal barrel up) this is all fuzzy logic and tongue in cheek method
600 - 50 =550 lbs
since 1 lb is about 453.6 grams
therefore there is 249,480 grams of material
assuming avg weight of chip is 9 grams
249480 / 9 = 27,720 chips

going deeper into crazy land

if one was to look at the sample sale of 125 for 18 chips avg price is 6.94
one can take a deep hit off the bong and assume a fair auction price is
27720*6.94 = $192.5k

or make an assumption that lower denominations are the majority
@$4 a chip avg = $110880 a barrel

now knowing the chip addicted crack heads (‍adding me to that mix) on this site, this would be extremely conservative numbers
yes i know each chip denomination has a different cost associated with it, but hey arent we all gamblers.....this is where a 2nd and maybe 3rd hit on the bong is required plus a bottle of buffalo trace whisky (can't drink the expensive stuff right now, need $$ for the chip sale)

My guess was only off by 100 chips

Thing is you dont know which chips would be in the barrel if u got mostly $1,$5,$25,$100s right off the bat you would lose alot of money if it was a barrel with $500s and up then Score lol also dont think many people here could afford 100k and up Barrels I know there are people who could but majority of people couldn't so it would be an auction WW could win easily if he wanted too lol

Wow great looking chips!!

I'd take the under, lol.

I expect these are vinyl and will pop off nice and easy. The Horseshoe Cleveland $25s were the easiest chips in the World to murder.

 

[Minus]

It's going to take awhile to get through these 2 barrels of table chips.

Forbidden Froot Loops.

 

[elfmag]

Dear God... And here I thought I was only trying to learn about poker chips and buy an "affordable" set....

You need to start over, you forgot the weight of the lid.

THC Crowd: "THC are so awesome I just can't see myself ever owning RHC chips. I mean preferably leaded obvi, but unleaded THC chips at a minimum."
thechiproom: "Hey guys check these out."
THC Crowd: "Well, except these."

it me

 

[CrazyEddie]

dibs

geometry matters

 

[CrazyEddie]

But seriously, if I had to pick only one of each denom:

View attachment 906618

Remarkably, you and I have picked the exact opposite in every case.

I suspect we can make some very valuable trades should we end up not getting what we want in the sale.

 

[joeyshin]

Both hundos are nice. I like the primary the best but the secondary is exactly what I need for my arc yellow set.


But I might have to make another cash set around the primary.
