El Nido Poker Room - My new CPC scrown set (1 Viewer)

[RainmanTrail]

I've been wanting a nice limit set for years. So, I decided to make one. The tri-moon $2 is what I came up with first. I've always like DG Peach, but have never used it in any of my CPC sets in the past. I'm really happy with how these came out. I loved the limit set mockup so much that I decided to go all in and just build a full set. 10 months later, here they are!

El Nido is a small island town at the northern tip of Palawan, Philippines. It's not far from the island of Coron. It's a long journey to get there though, as you have to fly into Puerto Princessa and take a 5 hour van ride through some rough dirt roads to get there. But once you arrive, it's a pretty magical paradise. Caves, lagoons, white sand beaches, diving, snorkeling, sport fishing, and tree house restaurants at the beach. The name El Nido translates to "The Nest" and is named that because it is home to 5 of the 7 species of sea turtles, all of whom make their nests there on the islands. It was also the first vacation spot that my wife and I went on together. They don't have a poker room though, so I decided to make my own.

OK, enough rambling. Introducing the El Nido Poker Room! Inlays were designed by @Johnny5.

Outstanding.

Wow Beautiful Set, I loved the $100 and that unique design for $500

Best set of 2021 is going to be fun to watch now… *kicks rocks*

 

[superchromix]

Well done!

 

[TheDuke]

Sublime.

Love the primary/secondary $2s.

This is the type of chipset that would really elevate a game to the next level for chip nerds. Fantastic work!

 

[davislane]

Been patiently waiting for these to drop and weren't they worth the wait! fantastic! love the use of two different $2 in the limit set.

 

[AlbinoDragon]

Damn!!! What a set! That $20 is quite attractive and the level-infinity spots on the $500 are proper drool worthy ( somehow doubt they are L9 as listed on the proof.

Do you expect to use both versions of the $2 at the same time or keep them as separate primary and secondary sets? I personally don't think there would be anything wrong with that as the colors across both work really well. I just worry for players with excessive OCD problems or the time involved to put them back with their like brothers and sisters.


Very well done. Enjoy the set. May you drag many big pots with these!

How do you order those spots? Am I missing something?

I'm just guessing here, but I suspect when one orders 3500 chips, you might be able to talk David into making a barrel of them.

I bet they aren't easy to make which is probably why they aren't on the regular CPC menu.

Very nice set as always. Love that $500, I didn't have the balls to pay the extra cost when I was previously quoted for them.

What was the quote for how many?

The palm trees with the hammock in front of the sun reminds me of a smiling Muppet!

Well done on this set, it looks fantastic!

Ya, the plan was to mix them all together. The colors are the same on both chips. I just wanted to mix it up a bit and give something for the OCD players like myself to do while stacking chips!

They're not available on the website. And if you can talk David into allowing you to make some, you're probably only getting a barrel or two. He's not going to make large quantities of them. It's a special-order-only spot offering.

I paid $6.35 per chip for the $500s. I only got about 30 of them.

I’d probably only want a barrel if I ever considered it. I’m more curious how it’s done. Looks like a magic trick

Beautiful set, great story behind it. Congrats man.

 

[FordPickup92]

Travis these are great, I love the mixed $2 idea, and the $5 and $20 are absolutely stunning. I'm glad you went for the dots too, they're a nice touch to the set.
Congratulations! (Although I was surprised to see the lucky buddha's go)

 

[Highli99]

Great set! Congrats!

 

[Quarkie]

Great set altogether. The 25¢ is the low-key star for me

 

[Pinball]

Wow, wow, wow.... brilliant!

 

[CraigT78]

I mean, these chips are alright.

 

[timinater]

Great job Travis, these came out great!

Pardon me while I absolutely LOCK IN DG Peach as my $5 in a future cali set. Holy moly I love it.

I was thinking the same thing re: a future $5!

Precisely what I did. Best CPC color imo. Perfect choice for the limit set @RainmanTrail. Still can't get over the 20 though. Never would've thought to put purple on black but it just plain works. Love it

 

[raynmanas]

astoundingly well done, across the board. bravo.

 

[brewdawg]

Awesome and amazing set of chips

 

[jr8719]

Seriously, have you ever made a bad CPC set? These are, once again, perfect.
