Nevadas Gpi orders for past months (17 Viewers)

Just incase GPI is watching this thread...

I don't participate in any of this madness. I'm just a poor observer.

Oh, and can I have a job? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

That is how the Bergs/Chicken/HQ chips got made. However, when the second round of chips were ordered for 3 other people (from the same source), GPI sent a letter stating that their chips were "not for you".

Would love to see that said to a customer.... doubt it... unless it was a small cardroom or something where they didn't care...

Here is a link to a a video I posted before which is The story of the Greatest Casino Chip scammers below. They stole more than a million from various casinos by remaking legitimate chips into higher denominations. GPI I don't think will ever enter the home market ever again.

Most interesting part is that the Russian mob was able to reduce bail from $5,000,000 to $12.000.
 
They didn't care about losing a customer. In fact, they cut the customer off, and lots of others like them as well. Some history about it in this thread:

Sadly, I agree with you that chips may eventually be phased out. We may disagree on the timeline, but 25 years is not an entirely unreasonable estimate. I'm not going to hypothesize what they would do with the equipment - I doubt that GPI even has considered anything that far down the road.

I do know from the Red Ott debacle, that making clay compression chips is more difficult than just powering up a machine. At any rate, that machinery wont be of much use for home-game chips in my lifetime.

Wouldn't chips be an advantage for something like craps? It creates landmines for the dice to hit. That's really the only thing I see feasible that gives the house a bit more edge. I think I've heard digital poker on cruises before. Whether it's physical chips or digital, both can still be compromised. Maybe blockchain technology would be secure/traceable even with a hack? And do casinos really want to make their transactions transparent to the gov?

We should not forget the "one happy customer" rule.

GPI sells 200,000 chips to one casino. They deal with one contact from that casino. When the casino boss is happy, they're done.

Here, the "average" set of casino chips is probably 300 chips to 500 chips. Now GPI has to deal with 400 different people, answer calls from 400 people, and make 400 different people happy.

And as others have said, GPI is very proud that they do not -- and will never -- sell to the retail market. They feature this fact prominently in their advertising to casino owners.

I've seen more and more craps tables replaced with bubble craps - and people play it, despite having worse payouts than a regular table. The Casino Royale Las Vegas, once the site of the best craps games on the Vegas strip, have done away with their craps tables all together. In fact, they have gotten rid of all their table games (accurate as of June 2021).

They still have gambling, but no more chips.

I've usually see more people at the craps table than the bubble on average in my experience. Maybe it was financially better for this specific casino to do machines instead of workers since it's a "smaller" casino. I'm sure it will have it's crowd, but not sure this will the majority wanting. Might as well play online at that point I'm sure people with enough logic will stay away from machines.

It was a major Midwestern casino. They have properties worldwide. They host an annual WSOP circuit event.

Their "juice" is why they got approval for the first 3 sets. Not enough for 6 sets though.

My experience has been younger crowds at the electronic tables, older crowds at the real tables. It could be comfort (more elbow room), ease (electronic calculation), or something else - I don't know. I tried them once (with a free bets coupon) and thought it dull, lifeless and boring. However, I'm not their key demographic.

The demographics of casino gamblers skew older, which may make the actual dice tables "busier", but unless those younger players shift to actual dice, chips could go the way of the bakelite. Completely cashless gambling is something casinos would definitely prefer.
