$0.25 Needed for Casino Aztar Indiana (Evansville) Set (1 Viewer)

[codeman00]

Thanks all. I'm back to the Light blue Stardust chips. Perfect number, perfect mold, perfect spots, i'm just not sure the color is going to gel with my Aztar chips. I just worry there's not going to be any other good options in the quantity I need.

Nothing's final, brother. Any Pauson chips you buy, you'll be able to sell, if you change your mind or decide to go in a different direction.

Side by side comparison. Final thoughts?

I love the spot difference /progression.
The number of chips are available and priced right.
I think the mold is the same.
I think there is enough distinction between the $1.
Should the lighter blue bother me?

I think that looks great. Short of the Garden City $1s, seems like your best bet

Don't mind me, but I can't help asking:

Have you considered not using a quarter chip at all -- just using your current Aztars -- by doing the old multiply by four, divide by four trick, and playing your game at 1/2?

In case you haven't come across this before, it means your players buy in as usual, as you would playing .25/.50, for, say $50. But instead of using quarter chips and giving them $50 in chips, you use your present chips, and give them $200 in chips. You then play your game as $1/$2.

When players cash out, you divide their total in chip by four, and give them that amount of cash. So if they have $240 in chips, you give them $60 in cash.

It works perfectly; it gives your players experience playing at 1/2, which mimics the casino experience; and it lets you get more of your $25 (or even $100) chips into play.

If you have, never mind. Continue on with the new quarters... :

pltrgyst,

I have never heard of such a thing! I hate the fact that with old dice chips, I had to constantly remind everyone of the chip values...so that's one reason why they are going away. no offense, but I couldn't imagine having to explain this factor of 4 method to everyone.

It seems like interesting training for higher stakes though. Thanks for the idea.

I've tried it. I got looked at like I was a space alien.
(I still think it's a great idea - you just need the right crowd to accept it)

I think you could find a darker blue that might work. For example...

Not sure how much darker this is but it's an option.

Binion's is another choice but uses a 2V spot pattern, there options just have to search and figure out what you like the most.

I use light blue for my quarters (with white dollars) and love 'em.

I know you're just doing rough mock-ups at this point, but I'd suggest a different label shape for the quarter so it doesn't match the dollar quite so much. Gear Labels has lots of options for you to consider.

Personally, I'd go with a darker blue. Never settle when it comes to chips.

Fortune poker in Renton, WA has a nice looking dark blue $1 with 4 spots/2 colors.

Someone's sold a rack of thrse 1s on PCF classifieds, so there might be a member close to harvest. They are new as of last year. You could wait a while for the chips to be broken in to match the condition of your Aztars.
