Nevadas Gpi orders for past months (1 Viewer)

My experience has been younger crowds at the electronic tables, older crowds at the real tables. It could be comfort (more elbow room), ease (electronic calculation), or something else - I don't know. I tried them once (with a free bets coupon) and thought it dull, lifeless and boring. However, I'm not their key demographic.

The demographics of casino gamblers skew older, which may make the actual dice tables "busier", but unless those younger players shift to actual dice, chips could go the way of the bakelite. Completely cashless gambling is something casinos would definitely prefer.

The electronic craps tables in my area typically only have 1 person working the table as opposed to 3 and also allow for lower betting limits. I’m assuming that’s attractive to lower stakes players or people who just want to try it out.

Look, I wish GPI sold to the end consumer too. But lets not be stupid. There are people that will take any angle to make a profit. Just look at every sale of hard-to-get chips after a Chiproom sale. There are PCF'ers that are looking to rape other PCF'ers for a G**d**n dollar. What angle do you think a criminal would take on a faceless casino?

This right here. The sole reason with little or NO exception for any attempt or success at sliding orders through GPI. Every single one of them S O L D!

I've seen more and more craps tables replaced with bubble craps - and people play it, despite having worse payouts than a regular table. The Casino Royale Las Vegas, once the site of the best craps games on the Vegas strip, have done away with their craps tables all together. In fact, they have gotten rid of all their table games (accurate as of June 2021).

They still have gambling, but no more chips.

Just a matter of time till one of the members here who are rather loaded pushes through a huge order.talking huge . It’s not if it’s when or has . I mean for someone who has dropped thousands on sets here regularly y not get a license and order a sh@t ton sell and pay not only for the building , license but with what chips sell for on here you could have a nice stash of cash lol

Let see blaze .50cents pies went for 7.5x face. Think about the profits unless you flood the market and even Jim buying out multiple casinos hasnt done that yet !

Thread 'NAGB Chip Quantities'
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/nagb-chip-quantities.81633/

It’s already happened time and time again. The AS cash alone was 135k chips. More NAGB orders will inevitably follow (and multiple already have), but with a community as large as ours, there will never be enough chips for everybody if they’re offered near GPI’s sub-$2/chip rate.

If the BTP were offered at that price, everybody is picking up 10+ racks. 10 racks to 1,000 people is already 1 million chips. So if a rich member wants to risk $2-$4 million dollars for a potential break-even return, for a set of chips that everybody else has, good on them. Until then, prices are what they are.

No, but if you sold them at 5-6$ you'd double or triple your money, soooo
Problem is these chips are meaningless in the realm of things they're simply fantasy chips. Don't get me wrong I've been sucked in to a few of them and let them go.... What gets me is people paying 10 - 20 a chip and murdering them! or vault them and never play with them (even weirder!) It aint a poker chip unless you play it! I envision some of you with sweat pouring down your faces worrying that someone will drop one and nick it!! :ROFL: :ROFLMAO::LOL: :laugh:
 
As much as I hate to see it happen, i believe casinos will move over to electronic tables. I already seen roulette tables in Atlantic city replace traditional ones. Perhaps in a post covid world, casinos will justify electronic betting as a cleaner safer alternative to chips. Easier to disinfect a screen versus many chips. So with that in mind, maybe all chip makers will have to chase the home market to stay in business or maybe they will just go the way of the dinosaur

Most businesses would rather crash and burn than change their business model.

I don't know Kev, These aren't the casinos of the past.. No chips would add 100's of thousands to the bottom line and that's all they care about.. I see chips going the way of coin drop slot machines! Yea you can find them but only in a very small handful of places. Nevada casinos are already taking the steps to make your player card chargeable with cash.

I think he was talking about chip makers.
 
they’d likely test it out before fully transitioning and I think would find that a lot of people prefer playing with physical chips, enough so to warrant keeping a small number of tables with them.

For chip makers, it depends on management. Some companies are run by disinterested sloths who have little financial stake in the company and would rather go down with the ship to collect severance packages than put in a few months of actual work figuring out how to make more money. Other companies are run by the people who actually own the company and they’ll do what it takes.

Rolling in a hard surface and all the flashing lights is a huge turn-off. The noises and clapping sounds are stupid. The lights and unnecessary sounds are way too distracting. I would imagine it would be harder to see where to throw and more fatiguing on the eyes. Why would you want pulsing and moving lights when you throw dice. There's also glare on the screen coming the lights above. The time to make bets seem to be speed up to make more money and not enough time to change bets. And they had to throw in an ad on the side of the table smdh. Please don't support this nonsense. The only thing I might see that's better is that rolling might be easier on a hard surface..maybe. If that's the case, it might trump everything else.

From that camera angle there was glare. Maybe not where you're throwing, but still potential glare moments. I can forgive all of it if the dice spins less compared to felt. I don't see the dice bouncing off the glass and into the back wall with less spin compared to felt.

I would like to agree with you, but we are talking about casinos here. The people that stopped paying the change on TITO tickets. The people that paid for a device to measure the $ through a slot machine so players couldn't get more free drinks than they are mathematically likely to have lost. The people that started charging for parking. The people that charge "resort fees" in their hotels. The people that changed out an entire set of WSOP chips because there were similar looking chips in existence. The people that changed the rules of blackjack to get a bigger edge on a game they already had the edge on. The people that reduced the size of a free drink. The people that have started replacing dealers with computers. The people that took the group aspect out of craps and replaced it with bubble craps. The list goes on and on and on...

If 1 in 10,000 chips were easily ordered and snuck through, the casinos would want it stopped.

The cost to a casino to say "don't sell these to non-casinos"... $0.

You forgot '000' roulette....
 
I’m curious, if Paulson only stopped selling to the home market in ‘16, where are all the custom sets from those days? I’ve seen almost none.
