OK so as I'm finishing off my second set of chips, it hit me that the full inlay chips are the ones I prefer the feel of (shuffling mainly), but most chips are either medium or small inlay

Wondering what makes casinos go for these, and if they ever pop up in sales like this.

Also wondering is there any kind of live chip dealing going on on this forum? I would love to scoop up some more of these, for example...

What you've pictured is a giant inlay on the RHC mold. Opinions vary greatly on this kind of chip - some people love them, and a lot of people don't. Casinos probably choose them because they have more space for art/branding.
There's quite a bit of live chip dealing on this forum. You just have to spend some time in the classifieds. When people buy live chips from casinos with the intent of keeping them or selling them, we call that harvesting, so be on the lookout for that term. But there's always people who are doing that here, as a business or a service.
 
I think one reason is for marketing purposes, such as special edition chips. I believe Flamingo did a lot of special edition $5s.

I believe there are obsolete Outpost and Casino Aztar $5s with (I think it’s called) grand inlays.
 
You're right I usually see large advertisements on those chips, these are Drop Chips so don't have one

Outpost? Do tell....that's the name of my company lol
 
One reason they ar not liked is that you can’t relabel them. You obviously wouldn’t want to, as you like the large label.

I have no attachment to the label. I like that the entire chip is thinner, shuffles smoother and I'm pretty sure is lighter as a whole

I was so anti oversized RHC... Until I got my hands on some Aces chips. They felt great; totally changed my mind.

Cool. Love to see a set put together where the label doesn’t matter.
Giant inlay venetians $1’s, with giant inlay aztar 5’s, and GO jacks $25. Primo

It is definitely lighter, because it has more inlay, and inlay weighs less than clay.
It is definitely not thinner. All paulsons are the same thickness.
I agree that they seem to shuffle a bit smoother. I had a set of “fan of cards” a Paulson home set that had giant inlays like that, and I thought the same thing.
