Post the ugliest workhorse chips from an actual operating casino.

I will start.

Mazatza Hotel & Casino
Payson, Arizona


These appear to be stickers on plastic chips. The edgespots look straight out of my local WalMart’s poker chip sets that are 19.99 and come in a not-so-sturdy metal box. When shuffled, these chips sound like sadness.

Do cruise ship chips count? I have a $1 and a $5 "beauty" from Norwegian Cruises. Best described as cheap and forgettable.
 
I saw some ad for geometric designed ceramics. They look cool until I realized how many dirty stacks they’d make
 
I bought a sample set of the “pirate treasure” chips just to satisfy my curiosity. They sound fun, but are otherwise useless. And the breakdowns are hideous
 
seeing these metal chips made me remember what I saw in an egyptian casino, just a month ago
I spent a few days in Egypt, I visited resort town Sharm el Sheik. They have several casinos, one of oldest it's Casino Royale(managed by Casinos Austria)

This casino opened in late 90s, it has a strange mix of old and new chips in play: CIC, plastics and ceramics. 5$ chips were cracked and faded, such a disgustin thing.
Most surprising chip was the 100$ piece, a full-metal chip (plastic inserts maybe are fallen out). I shot several pics before cashing out.
I think this is the ugliest casino set I ever had between my hands
Chips are denominated in USD because only hard currency it's used in egyptian casinos
