These have to be the worst chips on the Vegas Strip (4 Viewers)

[FDLmold]

I was simply checking out random Vegas casinos and their chips this evening. And my gawd, I found the ugliest plastic POS unappealing uncollectible garbage casino chips, that I had to share. Pics from chipguide.

If I cut plastic discs out of milk jugs and colored them in with sharpies, I could make better chips than these. Blecch. Whatever galaxy Paulson leaded clays came from, these originated from the opposite side of the universe.

RT Plastics?

RT Plastics?

Looks like it

 

[FDLmold]

Not RT. Icon. The "I" manufacturer symbol is on the inlay. I remember when Icon first started, they even visited chiptalk. A few samples might have even been passed around. Then one day they go "we're not going to sell to the home market, just casinos" and they left. Every chip they have made since then has been decline-of-western-civilization-uninspiring dreck.

Anything from Icon is shit, even RT plastic is slightly better, just SLIGHTLY better thou

Must have gotten them from Temu.

Yeah, one of the casinos near me has these RT's, and I don't hate the way they feel and stack.

Fontainbleau has some ugly chips too. I think these are Icon also. They look like a cheap plastic knockoff of a casino chip.

Not on the strip but in Vegas - I was in town for Circa's opening day and I was so sad to see these ugly giant inlays

Linq is pretty bad

The Linq ranks right down there with Cromwell.

I just looked, Linq chips are Icons too. No surprise they are as terrible.

My theory is that these are cheap as hell compared to other manufacturers, and the security is among the best. Just a guess though, but it would explain why a casino would pick them.

I haven’t been there for almost two years, but I’ll keep you in mind. I know a couple guys who go on occasion.

What would you want?

Not too picky. I've been trying to find some RT's for about 6 months. Haven't found any for sale yet. 1 or 2 chips would be cool. 5-10 chips would be even better.
Ideal would be 1x $5 and any remaining chips denoms less than $5.

So like 9 1’s and a 5?

5x $1 would be plenty. Fracs or $2.50's, $3's? would be cool.

I’ve never seen a frac or snapper, but I’ll see what I can do.

Since we nickname chips a good name for this $1 would be “The Skidmark”!

Are they chipped?

Not that I play much at the casinos but I refuse to play at places with shit chips.

They are so shitty and plastic and easy for somebody to replicate that they simply have to have good security on the $25 and $100 chips. I can't picture a casino going along with these hunks of garbage otherwise.
