Carnival - Fun Ship - Lead? (1 Viewer)

[Hotus777]

Just recently sailed on the Carnival radiance and I had a very successful trip! Lots of drinks, great food, and amazing company! The comedy show was amazing and more importantly I was able to acquire a beautiful barrel of THC $5s and rack of beautiful snappers! Wanted to ask if anyone has been able to determine if these are leaded THC chips as I dont have a scale. They seem to be pretty heavy compared to my other THC chips.

Thanks in advanced!

Here some Pr0n for y’all!

Well done, that's a great pickup!

Thank you! A little tough once the pit bosses catch on with a limited blackjack room!

Are the inlays smooth or textured?

Edit: Look textured from the photos. I'd assume leaded.

The leading indicators indicate that these are likely leaded. They are heavy (around 10g as I recall) and some are paper inlay.

Think they are all textured from handling and cleaning them yesterday.

Awesome! Good to know, thank you very much!

These make for a pretty damn sweet relabeled $1 chip in a leaded set IMO, at least that’s what I did with my FunShips snapper racks.

Thanks! Full pics to come in the newly re-titled "poker related only" mailbag thread once I receive the to be relabeled $500 chips for the set. The fracs originally were LCO $2 chips.

I’m pretty sure that a ship made out of lead wouldn’t be very buoyant and would sink quickly, killing most of the passengers. I think this is a bad idea.

Orange sky inlay Fun Ship chips issued in 1990, and fully leaded.

Love carnival cruises! but dang how did you manage a rack I'm lucky to pick up a few. Every time I ask for some when playing they never really want to give them up! Let alone some sharp ones, Great haul!

Same man, this past cruise I went on was amazing.

It was definitely a challenge and almost gave up halfway in, but a couple of good tips and running long on a table usually got me like a barrel at a time. There were times when the dealers didn't want to give me a single snapper. Honestly, I think I just got lucky with good dealers and paced myself throughout the 3 days on the cruise.
