Does anyone know the manufacturer of this chip? It looks like Icon ceramic chip, but without the Icon “I” logo and with an inlay.

The surface looks so similar to Icon mold chips without an inlay (like Cromwell, Linq, and Palms chips).

Why??? Just, why????

The "inlay" isn't even flush with the plastic. If someone handed me this with no context I'd assume it was a fake.

Seriously why are casinos being so cheap with their chips

It not as if they are not making enough money

You should ask the folks at Paris

Someone should at least send them to Sun-Fly. These are equivalent to the sites selling dice chips with custom paper labels for $2 a chip while claiming casino quality.

Actually the dice chips are guaranteed to stack better than Icon.

That's a really weird "grain" on the chip.

It looks sawn, like a Matsui or something.

Wouldn’t this be relatively simple to reproduce if someone had the desire? Like all ceramic manufacturers in the world could handle it with a little practice. How does the rfid tracking work I wonder, like is each chip uniquely ID’d…or does each denom have the same RF freq? One could probably read the rfid freq and just reproduce it. (If the ICON casinos are reading this…clay chips are hard to reproduce)

There was a guy in Las Vegas that was able to paint over $1 chips and then make them $100 or $500’s and cash them in. He had to learn how to airbrush, had to mix paints to get a perfect color match, and a bunch of other stuff. So I’m gonna go out on a whim and say that he he did all that to counterfeit a chip I bet these will be quickly and easily counterfeited. I bet you someone with a mid level knowledge of computers and RFID’s could probably make a pretty good fake with a quality chip. Without the RFID it would pretty much be a free for all. We’d all be on the phone to Tina and brining in the $100’s by the truck load.

this makes me feel dirty

This looks similar to the new Tina "hybrid" chips (I think Sunfly has them too) where they have a ceramic chip with a label on top of it. It allows higher quality print on the label than is possible directly onto the ceramic. There may be some security advantages too (you can probably print IR text on the label), but I'm not a fan of these in a casino.

Almost looks similar to ICON chips to me. That same weird smooth looking surface which is very very similar to the Pass $1s and Golden Nugget $1s. Makes no sense to me why casinos keep being cheap on chips, when they could invest some more into it and get something much better and something that will last much longer...
