Unfortunately, the Horseshoe Hammond chips leave a lot to be desired....Haha. I meant to say that we would see the Hammond chips next year.

Adding to this, Twin Rivers has rebranded both Casinos it recently acquired in the aforementioned acquisition. Isle of Capri Kansas City MO and Lady Luck Vicksburg MS has been rebranded to Casino KC and Casino Vicksburg respectively. Hopefully, they make their way to PCF sale sooner rather than later.

Given Twin Rivers's tendency to rebrand casinos upon acquisition there is a high likelihood that Ballys will also be rebranded should that deal go through.
Only time will tell if more chips become available. fingers crossed.
Were they hard to get and how did you get them? At the blackjack table?
Genuinely good faith question, at the expense of maybe sounding like an a$$hole... is the "oversize inlay" repulsion maybe a generational thing? I'm 23 and all my friends are 21-26--every time we've gone to Mohegan Sun, Ballys, or even Turning Stone, almost all of them have commented on how much they like the chips. Anecdotal, sure, but they didn't comment on the chips at RW Catskills or the rest of AC. As for PCF, almost every time someone compliments oversize/full-art inlays, it's like a bat-signal for @BGinGA to comment "oversized inlay" as if it's a venereal disease. Assuming the "BG" is for "backgammon" since I've gathered they're not his initials, I reckon he isn't 23, so please understand where I'm coming from haha.I just spotted the new Circa chips (opened Oct 28). Sadly, oversized inlay and THC.

Nice enough inlay, but I'll probably only get a sample $1, provided the pandemic ends someday.
My issue with oversize is the inability to relabel them with Zombies. Aside from that, they are slightly more slippery, but that doesn't bother me as much. They are also a little harder to tell apart, but that is probably a factor of old age.Genuinely good faith question, at the expense of maybe sounding like an a$$hole... is the "oversize inlay" repulsion maybe a generational thing?

I happen to really like these Circa chips, but I can understand the argument that they should've just gone for ceramics. These are as much advertisements as they are cheques.
How would they make a chip lighter?Oversized inlays also:
Make the chip lighter
Make the chip slicker to handle
Covers up the edge spot (I think the $1 is a tri moon)
paper and vinyl coverings weigh less than the clay material. Inlays displace clay.How would they make a chip lighter?
I would think any difference would be unnoticeable. But if it really displaced clay I guess it would be a little lighter.paper and vinyl coverings weigh less than the clay material. Inlays displace clay.
No, it's very noticeable. (well, very noticeable to me. Like making a 9.5 gram chip into a 8.8 to 9 gram chip) ymmvI would think any difference would be unnoticeable. But if it really displaced clay I guess it would be a little lighter.
1-2-3 knockout punch, imo. And unless the inlays are color-matched or otherwise very different, it's very difficult to tell various denomination chips apart when mixed in a pot.Oversized inlays also:

The solution is obvious, go with an oversized inlay on solid chips (ala Roadhouse Tournament 43mm)Oversized inlays also:

I am desperately looking for the crying emoji, Sad crying.The solution is obvious, go with an oversized inlay on solid chips (ala Roadhouse Tournament 43mm)
- chip is still heavy due to size
- still lots of chip exposed
- no edge spots to cover up
Since I'm sure you'd rather play with oversize labels vs electronic tables, I fixed your post.1-2-3 knockout punch, imo. And unless the inlays are color-matched or otherwise very different, it's very difficult to tell various denomination chips apart when mixed in a pot.
Nothing to do with 'my generation'. All aboutpoor performanceknowing better options exist.
For everyone too young to remember 'Tater's style choice.

Yeah, I'm thankful for that just about every time I see something really stupid or tasteless these days that gets 'caught on camera'.Damn that was sweet............ probably worn with a pair of cream platforms. Thank god we didn't have cellphones around back then to document the evidence.
I suspect you are OK with the Binion's Horseshoe as well...I don't like that much the giant inlay Paulson chips, but I'd do an exception for a minty Grand Bahamia cash set, the various giant inlays are superb all the way.

To complete what I said above, I'll say that I was talking about the 39 mm chips
I'll take 2 racks please.
Can you grab an extra $1 in good condition for the collection?I just spotted the new Circa chips (opened Oct 28). Sadly, oversized inlay and THC.
