What are these called and where can I buy them? (1 Viewer)

Thanks in advance for your help! I'm looking for the little slotted acrylic cups dealers use to stack $1 chips until they have enough to drop a red chip. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Not sure on the acrylic ones, but at Harrah's Cherokee they were using little 3d printed 5 chip stackers for that, in the dealer tray. If @Sparkynutz doesn't already have a 5 chip stacker in their arsenal I bet it wouldn't take them long to create one.

You just want a cheap easy 5 chip stacker? Have you considered taking a hack saw to an empty prescription pill bottle?

I have a few models made up for 5 chip but all are not with diameter flat like that pic.
I'm assuming you'd have to grab the Stacker tray and tip it to get them out vs my typical tray style just remove chips leaving tray on the table.

Only pic I had on my phone of a 5 chip was this E-Rack expandable style.

Clear and stacked would be easy and fairly cheap tho using this filament and printed in vase mode like these inserts.

Yeah, the ones at Harrah's were like yours, with the chips on edge like that. Made it work nicely in the dealer's tray since all the other chips are on edge there too. Not exactly what the OP was asking after but serves the same purpose and may suit the bill.

I'd try a couple of those... that might actually work better than the round ones since they take up less space.

How much for 2 shipped to 49426?

Rounded bottom to sit inside dealer tray?
39mm chips in a 43mm tray would be easy but 39mm in 39mm tray may be a bit tricky. Probably nicer than using spacers tho and keeps chips upright.

We just call them chip cups. Not sure where we get them from. I’ll try and find out.

Can you explain how or why these are used? Dropping a 5chip? like as a tip instead of keeping singles?

Our tip cups hold 20 chips. When a dealer gets a $1, $2.50, or $5 tip, they put it in the cup. Once it gets full they color the chips up to drop $25 chips into the toke box. This helps keep the lower chips on the game and makes for less table fills.

@Sparkynutz rocks!
