Will this chip be recalled by the New York State Gaming Commission? (1 Viewer)

[rck58]

The chip in question is Resorts World New York 25‑cent value chip, which is printed with the notation “00.25¢” on its face. As written, this notation mathematically represents one‑quarter of one cent, rather than twenty‑five cents. Traditionally, fractional‑dollar chips are marked with either “25¢” or “$0.25”, and New York regulations do not authorize fractional‑cent value chips.

Because 9 NYCRR § 5322.2 requires casinos to submit chip designs and denominations for approval prior to manufacture -

1. Was this chip design, including the printed denomination “00.25¢,” submitted to and approved by the Commission as a 25‑cent value chip?
2. Does the Commission consider this notation to be compliant with the requirements for clear and accurate representation of chip value?

Might not be on the tables much longer?

Interesting...

I need 2 racks

Maybe it’s just a rudimentary face (eyes and a nose) staring at the 25cents.

That is actually a better looking inlay

Who the F designed these?!?!
Resorts World executive board meeting, “No, we need the decimal point in there, the cent sign is not enough. It also needs a zero, wait, TWO zeros before the decimal point. Yeah, that looks good. Everyone agree?”

 

[ekricket]

Anyone know what the font is?

Their logo thing makes me think of SPECTRE

 

[suchj0sh]

I think the typeface for the denomination is great. Too bad they goofed it.

I'd love to see someone put a $1 bill down and demand 400 of those chips, and watch them get laughed out of the freaking room by both Resorts World *and* the NYGC.

I remember the no period and cents sign conversation in 2nd or 3rd grade math 40+ years ago. I was thinking the same thing about it earlier tonight. It should be pulled.

I fucking love it.

We've seen this several times in recent years and to my knowledge, none of those have been pulled from the places they have been put in play

We laugh about them every time, but I haven't heard of any gaming commission pulling or recalling a 25-cent chip for being ".25" cents.

This *is* one of the more spectacular f*#kups we've seen though.


I guess I'm surprised there isn't someone at GPI to check and ask the question of the casino customer, "you do know what this really means, right?"

This chip from the Odawa Casino Resort in Petoskey, Michigan was pulled shortly after issuance in 2013. Value equals 1/2 cent for nano-stakes!! Rather than ordering a new rack - the casino has used Kennedy Half Dollars ever since. Chip is exceptionally rare due to being recalled.

Further documentation of the decline of human society.

This level of care, knowledge, and attention to detail is now evident in every “profession”, from artists to emergency rooms. Thankfully, AI and robots should be able to wrap things up quickly on Earth.

By the way, this is what every casino should do. There's just no reason to make chips that cost more than their face value. And any casino in a gaming jurisdiction that doesn't allow it needs to start lobbying for a rule change immediately.

 

[DrStrange]

Does the casino actually use these chips?

Anyone think they would be better off with a pile of quarters sloshing around?

We could float easily 100,000 of these chips priced at $25/rack. Somone somehow would find a way to replace the inlay or affix a sticker. -=- DrStrange

My guess is @LowerBama1714 had a hand in it

You may as well leave PCF. There are literally 100s of thousands of fracs, dollars, and even $5 chips posted here that have cost members significantly more than face value.

I am guessing GPI provides the artist/artwork as a service, so it's on them.

I dunno man. Try to count a stack of half dollar or quarters and you might feel differently.
But I agree that casinos should certainly be allowed to use coins if they choose.

I am of course talking about from a business's standpoint. Obviously these chips are worth plenty to collectors like us.

That's all of coporate America. "How can we make this look shittier?" Its like how they did millennial grey because they thought it would appeal to us. Like no. We are fucking depressed so you built everything to look depressing.

Just imagine trying to shuffle a stack of actual quarters . . .

I've often wondered if these giant purposefully ugly inlays aren't an attempt to ward off collectors, especially when the base chip is so nice.
If so, somebody at Paulson reads these threads with satisfaction, I imagine.

"That's right, fuckers - two zeroes on your chin!"
