Capitol Hill Casino -- CPC Mockup Feedback (1 Viewer)

[thetikiking]

Looking to upgrade from my tiki kings to a set of custom CPC's.

My home game goes by the flippant name of "capitol hill casino" .. so I mocked up the attached. Any feedback is welcome -- I was going for a Stan Kelly-esq cartoon inlay, and a standard-ish spot design. The $1 is a ripoff of the bellagio/ Aria $500 flag. The $1 and $5 are the workhorse chips of the set, I doubt our $500 would ever see the table.

You need to give your $1 and $5 some serious thought…

Ahh very fair. I probably will end up with way less going on, probably solid red with a set of white pips.

CPC set? Grab the inlay template from the website - your text is too close to the border.

I get the style you're going for but the denom in a color other than black may be helpful and to balance out the symmetry, you could make the denom on both sides like this Tropicana chip.

This attempt fixes the dirty stack issues that chipinla pointed out. I will download their template -- these were seriously done in PowerPoint.

If I'm just ripping off high denom chips, I might try and do an orange $100? I've always liked the orange 1k that MGM National Harbor uses. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the lavender either, but don't know where else to go with that one.

You have a lot of white across those board. If that’s what you like, great. Just seems like way too much when you have so many options. I suggest taking a look here for some inspiration.

Thanks, will check that out. Being totally honest the chip I designed first and like the most is the $1 poor man’s flag, and everything else was shoehorned to fit round it. I’ll get some inspiration and come back with a fresh set.

I would think long and hard about dirty stacks. I’ve ordered two sets of chips, one set I designed myself and other set that someone else designed for a group order, and neither of them are playable because the chip colors are too similar, or the edge spots have the same colors as another denomination and we’re fighting dirty stacks all night or people throwing out the wrong chips because they got confused.

I personally won’t order another set with chips that are the same colors (example light blue $1 chips and light green $25 chips) or that have any edge spots that are the same color as the main color of a different denim chip. I think your dark green $25 and black $100 are going to have dirty stacks issues as well.
