Stay tuned for more to come...

 
Very nice set and I love the spot progression

Are you going to start murdering them all to more closely resemble the Bally's ?
 
This set is gonna be fire.

Love the $20, and the Bally's $5 is my favorite current casino chip ever (R.I.P).

Never played at Luxor. That $1 (.25¢) is simple but nice color combo.
 
Thanks a lot everyone

I love the spot progression

I like the progression all the way up till $5.

Appreciate this, thanks for noticing. Funny how it worked out. Thing is, this all started with the Bally's 5 and trying to make a combination around it that I haven't seen before. I knew it had to be light blue next to it, and then once the Harrah's 1 was in hand, the idea clicked.

Knowing that other Vegas chips I had always liked carried the same pattern (Resorts World 2, Luxor 1 and obviously my favorite chip - the Mirage 3), it was full steam ahead.

Plus, I knew I wanted a set with similar or repeating edge spots... it's almost what I committed to on my CPC project before pulling the plug on that endeavor.

However, once committing to the concept and these spots, I knew options were going to be limited so had to figure out how to make it work. There's two other chips I thought could have filled in as the 20, but when I had them in hand against the lineup, they definitely did not.

I'm honestly not big on progression, but once I saw how this started, it simply had to be completed. In my opinion, I feel like I maximized the Vegas housemolds with these spots (and colors) to the fullest, as these are the only chips that work in this assortment. I'm thrilled with the outcome!

Never played at Luxor. That $1 (.25¢) is simple but nice color combo.

This chip has really grown on me, and may sneaky become the star of the set once the label is added. The colors POP in person. Very underrated chip.

Looks fantastic. Love seeing another casino set with a nickel in it. Peach > White > Blue is a great progression imo.
 
Wow. How much trial and error did it take to color-match the labels to the chips so perfectly?
 
Scoring a (near) full rack of minty Mirage $3’s in 2023 for the win! No idea of the effort or cost. Wow.

Amazing house mold set with unique spot progression. Grail.

(General Mirage question: Were the $3 chips only used as drop chips or were they used for $1/$3 or other poker?)

Definitely a number of razor sharp/minty ones in my collection... just a rack for this set though...

Effort + cost + friendly chippers anonymous = WOW.

Enough murder was committed to get these to where they are, and I never had the intent of a uniform label across the set. That Bally's 5 was the foundation and never getting touched.

Being a "custom" mixed set, I didn't follow any rules, and decided to hold the integrity of each chip as it was in the casino. I liked each label for what it was, and still do seeing them all together. My players agree.
