TRK Riverside Hotel & Casino, Reno: Massive Playable Cash Set - Pr0n (2 Viewers)

[Chicken Rob]

Perhaps? Lol. Of course you need to fill that rack.

I don't recall if I've posted these before. This is a barrel of mint 1940s large crown TRK hotstamped Riverside hundos. Banana yellow with brown half-moon spots.

Guess I'll call them "Bananas," to go with the Bluebirds and Chocolate Chips.

The hotstamp detail, particularly the sawtooth ring, is amazing.

Throwback to a Chiptalk post I made on the Blue Wall waaaaay back in 2013:

Resurrecting this thread. I am building a new cash set, using old casino chips. Play mostly .25/.50, but assume that over time we'll move up to $1/2. (Longterm, years from now inflation will make $1/2 the new .25/.50. :wink

Currently:
100 x .25
200 x $1
600 x $5

It is unlikely that I'll be able to find a rack of $25 chips to match this set, let alone $100s. But if I do (or more likely, use other chips that compliment the set), I'd probably add 80 x $25 and 20 x $100.

I have 600 of the $5s now, but have an option for two more racks at $100 per rack. I honestly doubt I'd ever get all these chips in play in a single table cash game, but you never know.

So...we have arrived at my question: Should I buy the extra two racks of chips and bump my total to 800? It would certainly give me flexibility and insurance. As these are from an old, long-closed casino, I'd be unlikely to find full racks in the future, but if I did, not at this price. I should also note that $25 and $100 chips from this casino are NOT cheap, so these two extra racks for $100 each give me value for money, I think.

LOL at contemplating adding two extra racks of Bluebirds. I ended up adding twelve extra racks of $5s and blew through my estimated $25/$100 targets.

Currently:

160-200 x .25c (160 in the set and a couple barrels or so somewhere boxed up)
240 x $1
1,800 x $5
200 x $25
40 x $100


PS: Still looking for all denoms, but especially $1s, mint $5s (need 5-10, but happy for more), $25s and hundos.

You're making me regret selling my Pick Hobsons.

 

[Chicken Rob]

I think you could play 10/20 with your current set. I'd prefer more hundos, but the 25s will fill in adequately, if a little awkwardly.

 

[gopherblue]

Just found these:

(Thanks for the heads up, @RainmanTrail.)

Updated breakdown:

160 x .25c
260 x $1
1,800 x $5
260 x $25
50 x $100

Still looking for, well, everything.

You mean these?

Successful trip to the Vegas chip convention. Picked up a good number of Riversides. Once everything is sorted and cleaned, pr0n may be in order.

 

[Esection]

Can't wait to see them!!

 

[41Pickup]

GREAT SET , LOOKING Forward to seeing the new additions

 

[Pierna]

Simply wow!

 

[Meddler2]

Can't believe I sold my riversides. What a dumbass.

 

[gopherblue]

Did you at least sell them to me?

 

[Meddler2]

Did you at least sell them to me?

TBH I haven't a clue who I bought them from or sold them to.

 

[gopherblue]

Help an OCD hoarder get to full racks/barrels:

I'm looking for the following Riversides:

15 x .25c
25 x $1
10 x $25
10 x $100

Anyone have any extras of any of these?

 

[AfterTheFact]

TBH I haven't a clue who I bought them from or sold them to.

I think I might have actually bought them back from you and then resold them again LOL

Been there, done that.

Updated Riverside totals:

.25c x 190
$1 x 280
$5 x 1,820
$25 x 275
$100 x 55

2,620 chips. Bank of $21,802.50.

So close to full barrels/racks on a few of the denominations, which is driving my OCD bonkers.

Anyone have 10-15 Riverside fracs? Some $1s, $25s or hundos? No reasonable offer refused!

Well that's a huge set, especially considering it's a TRK set. You have double the amount of chips than I own in just one set.

Love those chocolate $25s, even though I'm not usually fond of brown chips.

I found a spare $25. I'll throw it in with your sample set

 

[Mac128k]

I assume that these, Pick Hobson and Jessie Beck are all the same Riverside eh? All TRK too. Pretty cool.

 

[sicilian_joe]

Very cool story...thanks for sharing!

 

[gopherblue]

Found a great picture of the Riverside's pool. Added it to the OP.

 

[Emlemleml]

That night was the official debut of the set in a cash game. Here is a pic of my stack at the end of the night...not bad for a .25/.50 game....

And those are bergs' ape-mitts at left making a modest-sized river bet in .25/.50 SOHE.

Gotta ask, is your chip count $1800 in a $.25-$.50 game? Also know as about 3600 big blinds?
