Mandalay Bay Winner's Chip? (1 Viewer)

[slisk250]

I have a buddy in Vegas right now and he posted this chip on his Facebook page. Looks like a Metallic Gold solid RHC chip with a crappy inlay. It's still cool that they make these. I guess he won a tournament at MB. Said it paid $1100 so probably was small.

Thats really neat!

Is that like a trophy/keepsake? Pretty cool!

I have one as well, from 2009.

Oversize, FTW

Mine was from a 3 (maybe 4) table $50 tournament. I guess that's what the 20% rake (as much as 33% today) pays for.

Way cool

That's a 48mm FHC chip. (Fat Hat & Cane). Definitely metallic gold. Tell him don't touch it and it will stay looking that good. :

Mbay has a $40 and $50 buy in tourney that gets two tables at best. Changes are he added a 0 to the payout

The plot thickens

Mbay's biggest regular game is currently $65. Even so, it would probably take 6 or 7 tables to reach a $1100 payout (I don't have the exact pay structure handy).

This is AVN (Adult Video) weekend, one of Vegas' busiest weekends. In theory, this is possible (Mbay holds 10 tables).

Yeah I was just kidding

I had to do the math, because when I won my chip, I won $475 - a far cry from $1100

Who gives a shit. I saw the chip on the page, someone else asked "How much did you win?" reply said 1100...I never talked to him about it. Note to self - get one of these guys to do my taxes. .

We're chip nerds. Love the chips, but also have the ability to analyze all available information. I'm pretty sure that collectively we could work for NASA, provided they wanted to put a payload of chips on the ISS.

I give props to MBay - actually winning something (aside from cash) is pretty cool for a tourist. I imagine if you're a local, you could build up a couple racks of these and they would lose their luster.

10 tables with 2 reserved for cash game. Big weekend means more tables reserved for cash game. No way Kay ever locks up all tables for a $65 tourney. Friends a liar bottom line but really who cares, it's a fun chip and he wasn't asking for the CSI investigation.

Limit poker in zero gravity, anyone?
