New Casinos / New Chips Thread (7 Viewers)

That’s sound dumb, those two being primary and secondary chips will make more sense here

Primary/Secondary?
doubt it... secondary chips at casino usually sit in the vault, until there is a 'need' for them to come out.

Someone on twitter said poker vs table games
speculation, but probably not true... there is no way to prevent commingling of chips from one game to another... people who have chips in their pocket from the poker game always walk to other table games and play them using the same chips... doubt the casino would switch the chips at the table.

My guess is that they will be replacing the clay Paulsons with plastic Matsui chips, and over time will take them off the casino floor, rack by rack and chip by chip, as opposed to do a mass 'recall'.

Sad part is another casino converting to plastic vs clay.

But there appears to be 2 new Matsui $100s

it's sad, but it has economic logic

Last weekend I was in Dublin, paid a visit at local casino Sporting Emporium. They have plastic chips, with two similar series in use: one older, from 2009 when casino opened, and another much more recent (2019). Chips from 2009 are obviously used and show wear, but I asked myself how Paulson chips would have been after 14 years of use

so yes, I can understand why more and more casinos will switch from clay to plastic

It’s tracks for me imho. I’ve seen pictures of stacks with both. But they always have a lot of the 39mm and a few of the 43mm. So it would make sense if someone came from the tables to play and just got them from their pocket.

The size difference 39mm in the poker room vs 43mm on the tables.

Also speculation: In poker rooms the $100 is just another chip. The casino doesn't care how much you bet in poker. Once the rake ceiling is hit, everything is between the players.

On table games, the 43mm hundo can radically change the amount the house wins/loses. I would be shocked if "past posters" are no longer a thing. But slipping that hundo into a stack of 39mm $25s and lower isn't going to happen. It's cheaper than RFID.

I actually like the upper denom inlay design update, the giant white inlays of the OG chips always felt like their weak spot, made it a nightmare trying to quick count pots. The colors and design are fine, whatever, but it's unfortunate that Matsuis feel like ass, can't imagine how annoying it's gonna be pushing slippery stacks around until these get covered in enough hooker juice to stick together a bit.

Already a complaint they're too slippery.

Who on earth would decide to typeset "100" with such appalling kerning? :oops::vomit:

It is three characters FFS, not a book, you could dedicate the minimal effort to make it look good. And among the dozens of –certainly obscenely paid– execs who had to validate this thing between the designer and the printer at Matsui, nobody said anything? This chip exemplifies everything that is wrong with this world. :wtf:
