Majestic Star (Gary - IND)

Another great casino rack brought to PCF-community by Jim from The Chip Room @TheChipRoom during the Black Friday sale 2021 (link)

Majestic Star Casino consisted of two casino gaming boats on Lake Michigan in Gary, Indiana's Buffington Harbor, owned and operated by The Majestic Star Casino, LLC. They opened in 1996 as two competing casino boats, sailing for gambling tours on alternate hours, until in 2002 Indiana legalized gambling on stationary boats. Majestic Star acquired the adjacent Trump Casino in 2007 and renamed it Majestic Star II.

The two boats each had three floors of gaming, with a combined 1,900 slot machines, table games, a high-limit VIP room, a poker room, and a baccarat room. Dining options included a steakhouse and a buffet.

The casinos closed in April, 2021. One license was transferred to the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, located inland in Gary

Jim posted this before the sale:
First the story. We had a deal in place to purchase the primary and secondary for the MS chips. Upon closing of the Majestic Star, the gaming commission required the primary chips be stored under surveillance until the redemption period had expired. Hard Rock sold the boat and removed all surveillance and the new property did not have surveillance set up. As a result, the Gaming Commission ordered the primary to be destroyed and allowed the secondary and NCV chips to be sold. One big problem. When the MS opened, after covid shutdown, the secondary chips were put into play and the primary chips were moved to secondary.

Opinion of chips. The lower denominations are very worn, some might call them bicycle tires. They are dirty too. I instructed my workers to pack the boxes with as many chips would fit per barrel. So in some cases that would be 21 or even 22. $500 on up will all stand on edge. They went through 2 slightly different logo variations and are both mixed in, along with some anniversary and le chips. The 43mm chips have some rack check marks and are dirty, but not bad shape considering the age.

Cash chips (39mm RHC & 43 mm IHC)

These just are what they are. They’re not permanent dirty. Those metal flakes in them make them look that way. It doesn’t get any cleaner than this. View attachment 823450View attachment 823451View attachment 823452
And they’re edged slightly to see if that was a problem.
Not many IHC chips with flakes around...so I would not let 'm go too fast

I scored 4 racks of hundo's & 2 racks of $500...will be a while before I can check the $500's
But no matter what, the inlay has to go....faux shaped inlays are a showstopper at casa Thomacetti
 
the 100s and 500s clean up nicely. I never thought I’d like used chips.View attachment 823111
I can’t be the only person who isn’t a fan of this 100/500 combo, right? Dirty stacks for days. I didn’t even notice there were both 100s and 500s in this pic until a closer look.
 
Not all RHC's are created equal....the leaded Majestic Star's are a good example of the best that is out there.
I just LOVE the hundo chip and think it's the best of the MS rack
$100 is no doubt the star of the Majestic Star line out , I like $1 cleaned after that but I not a fan of the $500 and $25 maybe it because the whole line out is too dark theme from $25-$500

I agree $100’s are diamond and $1’s are nice too once cleaned, I like them all but the $5000 in person tops it. Not sure if it’s salmon or watermelon as I sold my color set long ago but it glows well with sky blue and the grey, best $5000 I’ve seen next to the Sands baccarat $5000 for me.
 
is the 5K metallic silver? theres a sheen on OP photo. I thought they were just grey
 
If anyone wants to let go of some of/split a low stakes set, pm me and we can work out the price. Super bummed I wasn't able to get it in time. I really dig solids too for some reason.

Myself and @Raphmivey split a low stakes set. t25 are pretty good, 1s and 5s are basically mint. Very nice set. I'm planning on using my t25s as quarters and using this as a cash set. I will relabel the t500s as $20 chips

I think they are the best buy of this BFS as long as you dont mind solid. My friend want to get a set of it but just was not fast enough to get it
