Poker Chips in Movies – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (2 Viewers)

I didn't recall Teddy have $500's in his stack... I remembered it as all hundos.... Had to rewatch the scene to confirm.

That's super cool.

I didn't remember either, but sure enough. Those look like $500s in the back.

IIRC they start with only 25s and 100s in the final game, the 500s come out after Teddy reloads.

They also use them in the opening scene. Teddy's slightly over pot sized river bet of 15k is with one and a half stack of $500.

Daaaamn, the CDI '98 chips are everywhere!

Not only that, but some beautiful shaped inlays, too!

I recently saw 21 for the first time (though it's ten years old) and saw lots of good chips in there - I think they used some real casino chips, though not sure if they were live, and I distinctly remember seeing some Paulson fantasy chips at one point. The definitely didn't cheap out on the chips for that movie.


And of course the recent The House movie used those Wynn charity chips

Can’t get a good picture, but I think Rain Man was shot in Ceasars palace. It looked like their house mold.

The Rainman black jack scene used the Star Inlay hundos. Yeah they shot it inside Caesars using real chipes. The dealer in the movie was a real Caesar's dealer, too. I remember recognizing him at Caesar's a few years after the movie came out.

Paulsons in Cheers!

Sopranos @ Caesars

I like these from Maverick:

Don't know what they are, but seems like they specifically made these for the movie and didn't just grab something off the prop room shelf.

Interesting take on faux ivory chips. Never watched the movie/show in question. How did they sound?

 

[Papasatyr]

Aren't the Rounders chips ASM Roman mold??

Depends on the scene. The judges, if I saw correctly, were using simple circle square mold chips.
To think one could have scored those babies for 35c a chip in 2004.

"The Hit List" with Jeff Fahey, Yancy Butler and James Coburn. Early '90s, I think. Watched it on Amazon Prime this past weekend and was surprised to see this a little more than half way through:

It was just a quick scene in a dive bar.

Oooohhhhh! TR Kings!

When I got married in Vegas in 1993 the dealer from the movie dealt blackjack to my wife and I for about an hour. What a trip.

 

[Forty4]

Any guess? They actually didn’t sound like the metal clang of slugged chips.

Best I could do with a picture.

 

[allforcharity]

Standard 8-stripe? Used all over for promo purposes. Heavy.

 

[Ben8257]

If recollection serves, 21 used decent chips, at least in some of their scenes...

Nothing like bringing up a 2 year old post! So Brie and were watching 21 about a week ago. They are using over labeled 05 CDIs and WTHC chips... in the scene where they finally get Kevin Dpacey to play again and the chips are flying around, you can clearly see one didn't get a label over and it's a regular old WTHC $5000 silver chip!! Would have never caught that before PCF...had to rewind and show it to Brie! Haha the Scrub Donkey Life!

 

[Jhoov2412]

In Vegas Vacation they used the Mirage chips.

Will get better ones but wife was laughing at me for taking pictures of the TV

Those look a lot like the Poker Knights/Monaco Club/Showdown chips.

Wrong colors plus there is the (faux) house mold. Thinking they might be ceramic.

 

[cascadiapoker]

Oops. I didn’t realize even the pictures in your post afterward were from the scene, lol.

The two front $25's seem to show some spot splitting. Gotta be compressed clay - Paulson?

EDIT: Of course the only close-up totally looks like a ceramic. Nevermind.

I know its an old thread but I started watching Lie to Me again on Amazon prime

That's a real mix of stuff in there. I can see some Langworthy/RT Plastics for sure. Same chips inlaid and hot stamped. It would be nice if production designers took gambling scenes a little more seriously.

How about 'Casino Royale'?

This is a belated reply but Casino Royale used B&G chips and plaques. I read an article about them a few days ago. Must have been back when Trademark still brokered deals with GPI. https://www.bienpublic.com/edition-...s-et-plaques-pour-les-casinos-du-monde-entier

 

[coolguy101]

What are B&G chips?
