I live in the New Orleans area.
A casino I loved to play at is in Harvey (across the Mississippi river). Boomtown Belle, a river boat casino. The boat mostly looks like a barge, but it did have engines and it did go on legally mandated "sailings" (by undocking, floating in place five feet from the pier for two hours, then redocking).
The laws changed and it hasn't had to "sail" in years, but I digress. I'm sure the engines have been removed by now.

Also a long ass time ago, they refreshed their chips. They kept the same chip colors, same mold (RHC). But changed the inlay.

Look what they changed it to.

Why?

Who approved this and what the hell is wrong with them?

This post is just me beating a dead horse and venting. This happened years ago, but I still hate these chips.

It's... the boat doesn't even look good, it's a crap shade of yellow. It looks like a barge. It...

Just why?
 
I'll be the devil's advocate here on one thing. I've seen more good design go bad because the customer wanted it. The customer very well could have said the goals and.... In graphic design, sometimes ya just do what they want and move along. Time is money.
 
It’s not very often that somebody puts a picture of their casino onto their chips and it looks good. I’ve been working on some different ideas for my first custom set and I’ve never once considered putting a picture of my house in the inlays.
 
That is bad.

Never liked giant inlays.

Generally photos don't look good on chips. At least create some art that will look good.

Me neither.

Yeah! But what's worse is that the photo is a photo of the ugly boat.

I'm not blaming the graphic design. I'm blaming whoever thought this was a good idea. Some higher-up thought this was a good idea.

It's the same photo on all denominations.

Icon ceramic slugs are ugly. At least they didn’t change to icon slugs like the new table mountain chips.

I have SLS chip, and I think it’s much better than crap at Cromwell, Linq, and also the new Palms.
