Custom ceramic - Palazzo (1 Viewer)

[frenchips]

Hi everyone,

We are currently working on our home game chips, and I'd like your review on those.
When designing them, we didn't want flashy colors and most of all, no red chip!

We currently hesitate between SunFly PolyInno and PolyClay. Waiting for some samples before taking our decision.

Thank you all for your review

'WE' - what are you French! ... oh wait ...

most of all, no red chip!

My ceramic sets are in my signature, I did a Vegas Standard with a blue 5 instead of red. I've also done a Cali Standard. If you are not familiar with different standards check out the New Members Start here thread (also in my signature below).

White chips are typically reserved for 1 or 100, but you ought not use it for fracs or other denom base color. You can, but it is confusing for most people, I recently played with a white frac, and it caught me a few times, I thought they were 1s not .25s - I could see the same thing happening with a 10.

You should NOT use the 10 or 50s, you should skip them all together, for various reasons, which you can find more detail on the New Members post.

you shouldn't need to add both '.' and 'c' - .25c is often considered 'bad', you should stick with .25 | 25c | 1/4

Partouche color scheme?

(chips are from Nice, colours are the same France-wide)

guess the color of 5 euro chip?

Spoiler: 5 euro

yes, it's red

You should NOT use the 10 or 50s, you should skip them all together, for various reasons​

in Europe, casinos LOVE 10 and 50 euro chips and make large use of them

White 10s are pretty common in France. They are used in both casinos I play and in the previous casino I've worked in.

The denom dilemna is the one I find the most interesting in this forum We, the French, the greatest nation of all, and most of the wanna be European countries never use the 25EUR chips, and most of the time, we don't use 5EUR chips neither. The only time the 5EUR is in play is on super-micro cash game or on 2/5, 5/5, 5/10 table. We also have 20EUR chip, but nobody likes them, and are mostly used on other games (mostly BJ).
the setup you'll find most often is 1/2/10/50/100, 0.25/1/2/5, 2/10/50/100, 2/5/10/50/100 and 5/5/10/50/100.
We would like our set to be able to to be used on .25/.25 games, up to 5/10. For higher denom, that will be another story, and I think I'll use plaques.

you shouldn't need to add both '.' and 'c' - .25c is often considered 'bad', you should stick with .25 | 25c | 1/4

I take your point, I also don't really like the .25€ being as big as the 100€. It gives too much power to the frac.

Indeed Ex-partouche dealer, now partouche player.
99.9% of the people at my table will also be partouche players.

And please hide this awful 5EUR chip in the deepest hole on earth. And throw the 20 chip in it, so it will have some company

 

[frenchips]

Here is the set used in our casino. I don't know if Partouche is using the same scheme for higher denom everywhere.

I used 20-50-100 euros last time a month before COVID (january 2020) at Palais de la Mediterranée in Nice, they are yellow, purple and black exactly as in your pictures. Never seen 200-500 euro from Partouche, nor a frac (I only got a 0.50 form Barrière in Montreux)

The only time the 5EUR is in play is on super-micro ...
We would like our set to be able to to be used on .25/.25 games

You're wanting to play a 'super-micro' game but gawk at a 5? And you dislike the 20, I think you are a prime candidate for an odd ball denom set!

Here is what I would do ...

Create a .25 as a 39 mm chip
Use a 2 EU as a 43mm chip
Use a 10 EU as a 43mm chip
Use a 50 EU (plaque)
Use a 200 EU (plaque)

They need frac for the rake (50cts), like the 2.50eur

They are my favorite

For the stakes you seem to want to spread, you must have a 0.25, 1, and 5. You can get rid of the 2. You don't have to have the 10 and can skip right to the 50 if you want lots of 5 on the table. Is there a point to have 100s on the table if you have lots of 50s?

 

[frenchips]

The thing is, we are used to relatively small amount of chip in our stack (for whatever reason in France).
For example a typical 1000eur stack at 2/4 is 20×2 + 6×10 + 6×50 + 6×100.
I could live without the 100, and maybe use it as a plaque later on.
For the 2, I think they will be mandatory because of the 2/4 stakes.
Needs to check withthe boyz.


It s super interesting to see how different chip stacks are between USA and France!
You love small number of denom and monster stack, where we have a trillion denoms and small amount of chips

 

[frenchips]

This will be the first time I print some chips.
I have seen on that forum that samples shall be printed before mass producing chips.
On many of each denom should I ask for these samples?
Will they cost an arm?

 

[surfik]

Looks great...
You may consider changing color denominations from bright white to something less contrasting.
Maybe some glitter.
You may also want to play with different types of font.

 

[frenchips]

Here is a version with a gray-ish inlay font color, and the 0.25EUR fixed.

I also tried darker edges for the 50. Don't know what to think of them right now.

If I go with SunFly, I may take glitter inlay for the 50 and the 100, but my design skill are not enough to simulate it unfortunately

 

[frenchips]

I just got a quote from Sunfly at 0.69$ par chip for 1000 PolyInno (and 300$ for delivery, which seems totally insane...)
Is this price normal, or did they increase their prices du to inflation?
If that so, and with the euro-dollard change rate, it may delay my purchase

 

[allforcharity]

IMHO, a bargain for the quality. Shipping is shipping. Everyone gets gouged with air freight.

 

[frenchips]

Hi everyone!

Here is the latest progress on our "Palazzo" project. The chips have been updated a little bit, and I went for a 30° edges instead of 45°to have more of the main color on the side of the chip. They also have been rotated by 45°.

Democracy chose to bring back the 0.25€, so the denomination has been reverted back.

I also made the dealer button, and 2 decks of cards (normal color, and 4-color deck).

Once again, your expertise is welcome if you see any disturbing detail.

All of the orders will be mostly done by the end of week.

Cheers!

I think they're great - I like your denominations. PCF generally advices against anything but multiples of 4 or 5, but it depends on your game and I use similar ones (1, 2, 5, 20, 50, 100). Having said that, I would argue you'd be better served with a 20€ chip. That way you go 4× then 2½× instead of 2× then 5×, so you get more even use of the chips.

On your pink chip, make sure the size is the same on the small denoms in the ring - I think it's fine, but it was different sizes in the first.

One suggestion is to 1) curve the text on those ring denoms - let the text curve with the circle, which is the custom with text on a ring. And 2) I would personally flip the bottom one so it's "upside down", but really so you can read it when the chip is upside down. Like in these chips
