@brains613 and myself are figuring a harvesting strategy out. #firsttime

Sort of new.. from last year. California Yaamava house mold.

All I can see is "YMMV"

All I see is YA MAMA.

put me down for at least 6 barrels please!

 

[Colquhoun]

Why RHC?
Rivers has their own house mold.

Here is a better look at the hundo.

The typography of the denominations seems a lot larger than on other Rivers chips. Their clientele must be aging…

 

[brains613]

Taking requests for chips. Here are the dollars and fives. If you want me to grab any for you, send me a PM. (I'm working on getting pics of other denoms.)

(fair warning, I don't do Paypal. But venmo or zelle are both fine.)

I neeeeed a rack! lol

The casino spreads 2/2 Big O, and they had racks at the cage, so I don't think they are drop chips. But I didn't play at all. Just grabbed a rack of dollars and left.

OK, this is a new term for me; what are "drop chips"?

Usually $2, $3 or $4 chip, used for the dealer to collect the rake from that table. Having a single chip with these denominations means less $1 chips building up in the drop box.

Maybe it’s the lighting but the $5 seems out of place with the rest of the lineup…it’s too early to explain myself, so I hope you get what I mean.

Can you grab me a $1, 2 $5s, 2 $2s, and 2 $25s? Add a small Taco Bell order for yourself and shipping and give me the total.

I’ll be in VA later this year for work and will name it over there but would like the mint chips now for display.

 

[brains613]

I'm going by in a bit to try and snag a rack of $2, by request. We'll see how it goes.

LOVE that 5k

Would love a sample of the $1, $2, and $5 to check out the new spot patterns. It looks horrible on the $25 and $1k.

Thanks

Looks like some "___" Claw action in Tulsa.. Caitlan Comesky posted to her twitter some different Tulsa chips.
HERE is a link to some others.

Congrats to Hard Rock Tulsa on successfully making chips with one of the best edge spot patterns look like hot garbage.

Paulson: “You can have any color edgespot, as long as it’s blue.”

 

[Marius L]

Don't understand why they use the same color for the edge spots. Seems like the new chip designer at GPI is really into that. Having the same spot on all denoms seems like the more traditional way of doing it, but same spot + same color just looks real bad most of the time.

On another note its nice to see yet another example of what looks like newly produced bearclaw chips? Maybe the bearclaw is not extinct after all.

PGI designer: "How about a design that reminds you of the best selling poker chips in the history of poker chips..."

I dare say that these look better than those Hard Rock chips.

Wow, what a bunch of grumps!

I wouldn't be surprised to find out casinos sit on sets a long time before playing them.

TCR sells mint tournameht chips from closed casinos fairly often.

That’s exactly what I thought….what a waste. I’m glad to feel like I’m part of a team as I read further down the thread.

 

[Colquhoun]

I can see it now, the sales call between GPI and Hard Rock management…

GPI: “Our studies have shown that ugly chips tend to stay on the property longer than pretty chips.”

Hard Rock: “Ugly chips!”

 

[upNdown]

Wow. I might be on an island, but there’s something about these that are very appealing to me. I guess when I see claw pattern chips, more often than not they look too busy or some of the colors clash or something. To me, these are simple but great.

Youre all just mad the HR didnt make them look like some clown's LSD trip. I know everyone espousing their distain will be lined up to by them from TCR one day.
