Most Beautiful Casino Racks (5 Viewers)

Looks like they are finally replacing Lac Courte Oreilles chips. The new ones look plastic, but look nice.

Calling all PCF vendors. Look these guys up and get those chips. If we are lucky they have secondaries.

I like how they took the time to clean up the old chips before photographing them.

New ones look like ceramics to me. Dunno of any plastics manufacturer offering anything even close to those patterns.

Lol, they put the frac between the $25 and the hundo, because, well, it has a “50” on it.

Yummy THCs!

For me, besides Aria and Lakeshore Inn which are certainly near the top, I’d also include Mapes and Capitol City.

Interestingly, both went with a yellow $1, orange $5, blue $20/$25, and black $100.

 

[FDLmold]

Mapes had a lot of chips. You picked the best ones.

Some good chips have emerged from Illinois. The Casino Queen chips below were replaced in 2007, but the Casino Queen stayed the Casino Queen, which is why I imagine the chip room never got these like he did with other Illinois casinos like Empress, which is not Empress anymore.

I own most of the chips through the $5 chips now, but I love all of them. I doubt I ever get the $100s and above due to cost/availability, but the full 13 chips in a sample would be worth framing. Simple inlay, and the denomination color matches the edgespot color on almost all the chips. The earlier chips are leaded. These are not THC chips, but the house mold has a large rim so they handle like a THC. Inlays are textured and most are shaped, just like PCAs. This whole rack is lit, woke, sick, hip, and cool.

Dibs on the $1 & $2’s

1982 issue El Rancho. Nice large house mold! I think this is a very cool casino rack- house mold, hotstamped frac, textured shaped inlays (see $100 pic).

Pics from Chip Guide, various contributors. Extra $100 pic taken from eBay.

The $500 doesn't really fit but besides that I've always liked these:

I looked for this post for an hour the other day. Quoting it for future reference.

Any news on whether those LCO chips will find their way to the secondary market? Cleaned up those would be pretty nice.

I am not aware of any Wisconsin casino chips hitting the market ever.

 

[FDLmold]

Sometimes you see chips you've never seen before, and they surprise you. These chips did that to me.

According to chipguide, Biloxi Belle was open for about 2-3 years in the mid nineties. That means these are fully leaded Paulsons, with shaped textured inlays. The 1k is oversized. When the casino closed, they probably plowed these chips into a parking lot or something. That's too bad, because I predict these would be HIGHLY sought after if they escaped destruction. Anybody have a set?

 

[Lemonzest]

Hard to compete with the OP's first picture, but these are nice too.

a handful of these sold on eBay a day or two ago. I just missed them.

The LCOs are out there. I don't know the story (yet) but knowing who pulled it off, it will be an epic tale.

Whose game is that? Can they not share the info of where they got them? Would love to buy a set!

I don't know the story about the chips yet. I don't know if they can share, or if they just haven't had the opportunity to post the story. I will be talking to the owner next week and will have something to share after that (if the story hasn't broken first).

@Poker Zombie any update?

@Poker Zombie any update?

The owner is in Iceland for the meetup if I’m not mistaken.

I do try to collect singles of some of these racks I've posted. Some are easier than others...

I know somebody with one of the two Casino Queen $25s, and also the Ameristar $25. If somebody buys my Horseshoe micro set, I can pull the trigger and get them...

I've not posted here in a while. Then I saw these (images from chipguide) and thought I would rectify that:

Is that every shaped inlay Paulson offered in 1989? These are sweet. Tourney set of 2000 chips please!

Metallic Gold 5000, eh? Niiiiice!

 

[FDLmold]

Been a while in this thread. Thought I would post again. I'm thinking of some small crown CPC custom chips, because I have an inlaid color small crown sample color set, and they are fantastic. Then I thought about the FAR less loved large crown mold and did some research. Do you know how many casinos or card rooms EVER made inlaid chips on the large crown mold?

Two Cali cardrooms and one Vegas casino. That's the list. Beautiful chips, and lots of shaped inlays.

 

[allforcharity]

I actually like the look of the Large Crown better than the Small Crown.

You have to admire such artfully concealed personal flotation devices. You never know when a casino ship will flood or sink...

I thought BG found a casino site i was unaware of. I typed in the URL in the upper left corner, "Scoreland.com".



Not a gambling site.

I spent 15 minutes looking for more chips.

You're derailing my thread everybody.

But it's ok. It wasn't going much of anywhere!

Interestingly, both went with a yellow $1, orange $5, blue $20/$25, and black $100.

Just as interestingly, if you went by spot progression for the Capitols, they should be blue 1 -> yellow 5 -> black 20 -> orange 100
