Horseshoe Las Vegas $2 hotstamp.

Dibs dibs dibs

 

[bergs]

6/12 & 8/16 limit games. Very common for limit

They’re spreading 6/12 and 8/16 at the ‘Shoe? Hadn’t seen that on Bravo yet, just 4/8 and they use $1s.

6/12 & 8/16 limit games. Very common for limit

I know conceptually that’s where they’re played, I play a ton of 8/16.

I’m just not seeing this at the Horseshoe and wondering if they’re a drop chip or something that is hard to get.

wondering if they’re a drop chip or something that is hard to get.

Not sure if they are just for rake or will be used in limit games. Only got a few yesterday, no quantity. Almost 10.0g.

 

[kmccormick100]

The end is nigh. I guess @slisk250 cleaned em out

 

[bergs]

The $25s changed too?

 

[greenchip]

The future is here soon, all icon or Paulsons with lower quality

And this error on all the new $500 chips “LAS VEGAS ¥NEVADA” instead of “LAS VEGAS • NEVADA”

 

[bergs]

Horrifically bad.

How’d you get them? Just ask at the cage?

Another Las Vegas $1 hotstamp.

Hotstamp does not have the TH&C logo like the inlay version does, so this may be an error and need to be re-printed since mfg logo is required in NV.

Most often, the mark is a top hat and cane in the mold, or a UV mark with house molds. I wonder wher it is on that hotstamp chip? Maybe a UV somewhere, or maybe an RFID code?

I can't imagine the casino would pony up for RFID on a chip if they are "going cheap" by doing a hot-stamp version. I also can't imagine paying the expense for RFID on a $1 chip. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems against the cost savings removing features from a chip would introduce.

 

[djmarc]

Yeah, my bet would be they just forgot to put the TH&C on the stamp and you will see it on future versions.

True…I just wonder where they put the ID? Or maybe this is just a chip in violation

Resorts World doesn’t have manufacture logo but has RFID on all denominations $1 to $100K

See wires sticking out from $1

Is Boyd affiliated with Paulson? Why would these chips have a top hat and cane on them? Aren’t they different companies?

 

[BiGGyT]

Word is that Oceans 11 in Oceanside, California is getting new chips in the next few weeks. I predict Icon

Nevada Gaming regulations currently require that the chip manufacturer be identified on all cash checks. GPI/Paulson typically complies with this by using a Top Hat & Cane marking (either debossed into the mold or added as a UV symbol or microdot (which often also contains the Paulson brand name). RFID would be another potential way to identify the chip manufacturer.

Boyd is the parent company of the casino, not a chip manufacturer.

I'll be driving by there on Saturday, I'll see if I can get some details

 

[djmarc]

Orleans hotstamp $1s are way too diffcult to get considering what they are, lol.
They are only on the floor games currently and apparently not going to be used in the poker room? IDK how/why you would do that..

New chips from WA State. No poker. This place has taken over in the location of the old Iron Horse Casino, which used nasty beat up Chipco’s. Place has probably 15 tables, mainly Pai Gow and Blackjack. They aren’t TRK, but they sure beat the stuff coming out of Texas lately.

Imperial Palace in Auburn, WA.

New chips at Oceans 11 in Oceanside, CA. Very slick, but quite a fan of the set. They’re very heavy, and tall compared to the 30 year old set they’re replacing.

Still better than Icon BS

10-20 years later they'll be cracked up like Pala Casino chips.

And please submit the pics of chips to ChipGuide if you can, that'll help people. I do too for fun

Wow! Those look great.

 

[greenchip]

RHC is the best mold

I wonder people here like RHC or BJ plastic more.

Wow! Those look great.

Even better if $1-$25 are RHC and $100 and up are IHC

Shouldn't that be in the Controversial Opinions thread?

Those Ocean's 11 chips look like Matsui. The fact that @punter8 says that they are slippery makes me think that they actually might be. I didn't think that US-based casinos used Matsui. I thought they were mostly European and Asian casinos.

I do have to say that the inlay artwork is very nice.

It may be that Matsui can be gotten at a better price. BJ considered a prestige line at GPI/Angel.

These are very nice and look classy. By far the best newer chips I have seen in a while.

That $5 is legit.
