    Not Mine MGM Grand layout

    I see all lot of MGM Grand chips floating around, so I figured I'd post this eBay ad in case there was anyone interested. If it's a bonus, it appears that it doesn't have a specific location by the logo -- the OCD chippers won't go on tilt by playing with Vegas chips on a Detroit layout (or vice...

    Help build my HORSE starting stacks (aka "What the hell was I thinking?")

    Looking to PCF for some inspiration... when I originally purchased my chipset over a decade ago, the plan was to use it for HORSE and NLHE tournaments using a blind schedule close to what the WSOP/WPT used. The problem is I can't find my original notes with the starting stack breakdowns and...

    What to do with old ASM (CPC) solids?

    Looking for ideas from those in the know... I've got 500 solid chips (circle-square mold) in great condition that I had once upon a time used as a tournament set before I bought my customs... I used paper labels on them that have held up extremely well, but I'm just not feeling the theme as I...

    Next weekend (Memorial Day), I'm heading down to Pittsburgh for the annual volleyball tournament for my daughter, and it appears that her playing schedule might allow me to get to the casino for either the Saturday or Sunday evening tournament. Has anyone played in these before? I'd be...

    Recommendations for action camera (like GoPro)?

    As part of the ongoing evolution of my daughter's volleyball career, I've been informed by her coaches that I need to get some in-game footage of her playing to attach to her recruiting profile... however, as she is a Middle Blocker, I need to get footage from behind the court. As you can...

    Ewing Mold -- Any collections?

    I just bought a Railroad Pass fractional and, for some reason, I think it feels like a totally different chip than the HHR and CSQ. Since it's not offered by CPC / ASM to the general public, I was wondering if anyone had ever put together a playable set of Ewing mold chips?

    My first Tropicana chip...

    If anything, it'll be an interesting conversation starter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/TROPICANA-LAS-VEGAS-100-VINTAGE-OBSOLETE-1970-039-s-CASINO-CHIP-MONEY-CLIP-/401422164736?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=V0fpPa6guqN0viw5LrQqTXf1%252BUE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

    Durability of Bright White chips (CPC)?

    Here's hoping @AK Chip (among others) will be able to answer this question... I'm thinking about creating a cash set and, for design reasons, I'm thinking about using bright white as the base color for one of the more common denominations. I know, on the website, CPC mentions that bright white...

    Selling advice: BCC Garden City fractionals

    As I mentioned in a Classified "For Sale" thread, I've got some car repairs and other upcoming expenses that need to be look after... as a result, if I want to hold on to the last of my collectible chips, I'll likely need to sell off some of my Garden City fractionals. At the moment, the set...

    If there's anyone in the Pittsburgh area who is interested, I've got a voucher for 2 free tickets (Corner Box, Outfield Grandstand, or Corner Grandstand) to any Monday-Thursday game at PNC Park.

    Garden City Casino -- alt versions of Blue Chip $1?

    I was just going through a stack of my Garden City chips, when I noticed that a couple $1 have a slightly different edgespot...
