That’s what I thought! We can now close this portion of the thread.

But what about the Lucky's Secondary Set?

I'm holding out for the Lucky's VIP2 cash set.
**DISCLAIMER**Yeah the characters looked off. I'd be willing to bet there was no Asian involved in the design of this set.
Most things are Chinese but the lucky cat is Japanese (I did see Cratty acknowledged this). But then again this is supposed to be "Mexicali Chinatown" and that is just
NO ASIANS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THE LUCKYS CHIPS
Is that because they were manufactured in Mexico?

But yes, I designed for a fictional casino in Mexicali Chinatown, where I assumed actual Asian guidance might actually lead the design down a path that wouldn't make sense for the location, ha. I wanted the design to read chinese restaurant and tourism. Would have been a very different approach if located in China.

And to the criticism about meaning, let's not pretend language is a monolith.
When I was studying Spanish, I learned that saying "I love tacos" could get me radically different reactions in Bilbao or Buenos Aires. Same simple, uncontroversial word with little ambiguity in any given Spanish dictionary, but different cultures using it.
Meanwhile, a Chinese character can mean like six different things just based on the speaker's tone.
The ambiguity makes me like these more. I don't want perfect art - something "uncanny valley" about that.

I too buy my chips for historical and cultural accuracy
I can attest to this since I'm probably the only asian PCF'r that's originally from Mexicali

More pics should be coming. Lots of sets delivering tomorrow and Monday!
Oh.. fun fact that no one else knew. There is a casino in Mexicali Chinatown named 'Casino Chinesca'. You can see it on the map below. Recognize any other names?

Chips are home in their cozy racks but slipped the button out.

Debuted this set last night for some birthday poker and it quickly became a fan favorite! We started the night with some steak and wine, finished it with some poker and a lot more wine lol.

Really is interesting just how pictures don't do the chips justice. Also feel like the set is one that grows on folks too over play.
Love the wine selection!
