Well if all casinos start moving to Icon maybe Paulson will need us again one day

I love where your heads at!! But they will probably just create an even cheaper product to compete.

Stopped by the latest casino to open in the Chicago area yesterday… Wind Creek. Seems like a really nice place. Small but nice poker room with 10 tables. See pics of room and chips…

IDK How I feel about those inlays but the colors/edgespots some of the best Casino ones I've seen in awhile

Those quarters! I'd love a rack (Or 3)

You should be developing a good relationship with a pit boss and harvest the heck out of those quarters.

And then say you're willing to pay 100x face value

*sigh* giant inlay

You’d think GPI or the various state gaming industries would be like…. “You sure you want a $0.0025 chip?”

Seriously! GPI used to know how t to make great fracs…

We have a Windcreek in Eastern PA in Bethlehem. They run a good operation and I always have fun. They swapped the poker room location many times over the years, but other than that poker there has been enjoyable.

Is Paulson/GPI now putting “GPI” on all its new chips? Surprised the casino would agree to that on their inlay.

Lived in Chicago for four years. I'd never heard of East Hazel Crest. I looked it up on a map. I don't think its fair to call that a Chicago casino.

That's 25 miles away. With Chicago traffic, that's 2 hours.

The room says swanky gambling den but the chips say Grandma's tea room.

If you're actually averaging 12.5mph it's time to invest in a good bike

12.5 MPH isn't far from accurate, and actually pretty fast at certain times of the day. It's a big part of the reason that I left Chi-town, and turned down a great job offer to return.

Absolutely HATE these chips………. They are plastic….with what appears to be a small magnet.

Fun casino……… the actual casino is being built…. The temporary casino is in container boxes right now.

We think they are paying for the build as they go. I think it has been like this for 3 years now.

Oh, i am sure it helps. I work in Marketing in a temporary casino and i see the business we do in our small space with 300 slots and 7 tables. Honestly pretty shocking. We will be 25 to 26 months old by the time our full casino opens in mid February.

Wouldn’t that be ‘not’ Chicago traffic then?
