Only the Limited Edition chips are plastic. Regular rack chips are still Paulson Decor Ring for all except $1s.

Yes, because plastics mixed in with clay chips makes everything better.

Does anyone like these 'premium' Paulsons? I have never held them but I don't care for the look.
I do! Hence my profile picture
They look neat, but feel and weight is a drawback for me.

I haven't handled them, but I love them. Strat doesn't pitch poker anymore, so I'm unlikely to return to the casino. If I did, I'd only play craps, so stacking or even really handling the chips isn't a factor.
Oversized inlay with household seems uh…. badly conceived?
Is it a tournament chip? Seems strange that there is no currency symbol for cash.
Now that you mention, that’s definitely confusing. It has different sides: one side celebrating 25yrs, with the $25 shown in the other side

I was on vacation in Barcelona this week and of course I visited the local casino. Collecting Chips and continue my Ship Design Study
It seems the Casino Barcelona recently had a rebranding, inclouding new Name an new Chips (you can still see the old Name "Gran Casino Barcelona" on the Plaques).
These are the Chips I saw at this evening:
Photos of the "new" ones:
And the "old" ones:
For me a Downgrade.
And weird Denomations as well (0.5, 1, 1.25, 5, 10, 50, 100. 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000).

1.25 it's for commission in punto-banco: a minimum bet of 25 euro on banco pays 1.25 euro commission (I saw the same in Madrid and in Italy at Saint Vincent)
250 it's a spanish oddity, I only found it in Spain: the same chip it's used in Madrid and in Sevilla, it's a residuate from old peseta currency (25 pesetas coin and its multiples)
10 and 50 euro chips are pretty common in european casinos, so definitively no oddity in it

Denominations are common in Europe, no ? In France it is pretty classic.
Just in case anyone was wondering which city the Horseshoe Las Vegas was in, they added it again on top.

Are you sure???
Actually, displaying both the casino name and the city location on casino currency is a NGCB regulation requirement. Blame the rulemakers....Just in case anyone was wondering which city the Horseshoe Las Vegas was in, they added it again on top.
