Seating chips using actual casino chips (1 Viewer)

[Darson]

So I had the bright idea to make up a set of seating chips using actual casino chips. Naturally I'll need $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9,& $10 cash chips. Roulette's are cheating!

$1, $2, $3, $5 & $10 chips are no problem.

I've seen $4 from several Vegas casinos (Tropicana, Hard Rock, Planet Hollywood, Binions, Harrah's)

There are some Chipco $7 Jack Daniels chips from the Palms kicking around.

$8 are available with the Chinese New Year chips.

So my problem are the $6 and $9. Has anyone seen such a thing?

Could use a Lucky Sevens casino chip for the 7 slot, if wanting to keep the seating chip set all clays.

No ideas for the sex chips, beyond relabels with those denoms.

No ideas for the sex chips.

Plenty of brothel chips out there.

I don't understand how it will work? If they're all different materials and molds, people will be able to feel the difference and pick their seat, if they've seen them before. Unless they're not pulling them out of a bag or something?

Roulette's are the answer.

FYP. Plenty of roulette 6's out there. For the nine, just go with a non-denominated casino chip.

Or turn a 6 upside-down and draw a line underneath.

I had a similar idea around 2006. My plan was to acquire pairs of 1 chips from different casinos. One set would be distributed at all of the seats, while the other set would be in a bag to be drawn blind. Players would take the seat by their matching chip. I rarely hosted tournaments and didn't actually do this.

Another idea was to acquire two sets of ASM (pre-CPC) color sample chips, which would all feel the same in the bag. I have the chips but didn't have the opportunity to do this, either. Since then, I've realized it's probably a bad idea given the number of people with some degree of color blindness.

Good luck with your project!

The idea is that they’ll all be put in airtites and kept in a bag to pick your seat. Then they can be used as a card guard during the game.

I’ve already got some and will post pics in a bit

LOL true. This is the like the marble deck of cards in another thread.

Great idea with the air-tites.

This is a great idea - but instead of matching chips, I’d just have chips of the same values. That means all the chips can be different.

This would make a great $1000 relabel.

Yes, that's absolutely right!

I need a few of these...

Bad news. I just checked the Chip Query tool on MOGH... I didn't specify region, so it would be a worldwide search. Looks like there are no $6 or $9 denoms.

Then again, there is also no $7 listed, and we both know there are $7 chips out there.

I only have 10 of this beauties!

Status so far:

I decided I wanted house molds for the easy to find chips. Still deciding what to get for 5 & 10 - probably a dunes 5, not sure about the 10. The THC roulette 6 was a nice find. I have a 7 on the way also. 9 is going to be a problem.

Any suggestions for a house mold 10?

Commerce Casino in LA? I played a bunch there...

Used my seating chips last night - the guys really liked having them as card protectors during the game. I got lots of compliments.

I have a Dunes 5 and roulette 9 on the way. Almost there!

I use a walnut wooden case with a plastic lid like this:

For seating?

 

[jbriod]

For seating?

Must be for large tournament seating. Gotta be hard to get those numbers like 101, 102, 103 chips.

My bad, my post was meant for another thread.

Almost there! Just need to find a $10 house mold

I love this idea! My favorites are the Harrah's and the Paris. And having it as a card marker is a nice touch.

Great execution!
