Nice. More pics of the Bellagios please any spinners?

Very few spinners. For my first cards mold buy, I was very surprised that the chips actually have somewhat of a clay feel and not plastic like I was expecting

Justin didn't send all the shipments out at the same time. Mine was dropped off at the PO yesterday. Hoping to get them by the end of this week. Need them for a game next week.

Same with me! I was wondering what was going on. All USPS usually have an estimated date, and mine did for a few hours. Now it doesn’t…very strange.

I got mine yesterday!

Thanks Justin!

I packed an Apache 3800 tonight with the 500 chips. Micro stakes .05/.10 game this weekend with friends and family. Low enough stakes to just have fun and have a few drinks while playing.

 

[Colquhoun]

And suddenly…mine is out for delivery!

 

[JoeBGo]

Excellent work @justincarothers and @Colquhoun !

This will be my travel cash set so my CPC’s don’t have to leave my house. These textured no molds feel great! I was surprised by how sharp the edges are. I don’t think you can’t beat the bang for the buck on these, great value!

 

[opengun]

i’m already adding on more Bellagio’s

I see the drop shadow on the text in this pic:

But not in this pic:

I'd think each chip of a denom would be identical, and on each side too. Do the dye-sublimation print different colors in different passes? If so, maybe on a certain pass the chip got offset slightly and printed the shadow.

I didn't buy any 5¢ or $10 chips but hopefully the issues aren't across the entire print run.

None of my 5¢ chips had the weird drop shadows. I didn't buy any $10 chips though.

Same for me - my Rounders CPC's will stay home and these can travel.

I have a rack of .05c chips and don't have any double printing / shadow looks to them. They're all good

I too might add on another 500 chips to allow for a 1/2 game. I was really thinking of these just for a .05/.10 microstakes, but hey - they're cheap and pretty cool!

I would like to see the actual Bellagio chips next to these just for comparison. The only chip I would like to order that I'm wish looked a little different is the $25 chip. It's kind of teal and I think I'd prefer more green. I love the 1's and 5s here though.

Is it still possible to order a set of the bellagios?

I have a set of the Arias. Are they the same?

The Bellagio are textured no-molds. I don’t have mine in hand to compare to cards mold but here are some descriptions:

Mine arrived today and I’m really happy with them. Just a quick photo of my favorite of the bunch:

It’s interesting, I expected the no-mold textured to be similar to some older textured Nevada Jack Skulls chips I have, but these textured ones from Tina are great.
The texture isn’t nearly as prominent, it just gives a great feel, and the chips a nice grip with each other. Definitely grippier than the cards mold chips.

The Bellagio textured no-molds are way less slippery than cards mold.

So happy with the Bellagio 2.0 that came in today..
Working on topping off the order so I can play a bigger game with this set too.

 

[ad119]

Bellagio chips arrived today! They look awesome! Great job
Definitely going to order another 1000+ in January group buy. My wife is going to start asking about this Justin

 

[opengun]

seeing quite a few spinners with my 43mm Bellagio's, is there anyway to correct this?

 

[ad119]

I’m adding 25 cent chips to my Bellagio set in January’s group buy. Does anyone who purchased the orange 25 cent chip feel they are to close to the $20 chip?

Thanks for the input

 

[TKEUofM]

Just got my tourney set. I’m pretty happy with the quality and you can’t beat the price. Will get them in play next Friday.

Definitely a great starter option for someone worried about spending big money on Paulsons.

Here's a photo of the $20 chip in a 25 cent stack.

 

[Colquhoun]

Yeah, they were close enough to possibly be an issue…one of the reasons I made that light blue 25c as an option.

@Roslindale, how many of your $10s have the hard "crescent" shadow as seen here:

It looks like the picture you posted, at least that $10 did not have the hard shadow. @Okku posted a video and he mentioned his $10s had them, but I'm not sure if it was some, most, or all of his $10s.

I'll have to check tonight and confirm how many of them have it and how many don't.

My tens are 43mm

I didn't notice a "hard shadow" on mine.
