Help me out here - how the hell do you harvest a rack of tournament chips?

Assuming this question was in response the the pink stardust chips, those aren't live chips (they're from a closed casino that sold off all of their chips).

You don't - not easily, at least. The chips he has pictured there are from the defunct Stardust Poker Mansion in Canada. The chips were sold en masse years ago.
 
I harvested two nearly mint racks of Bellagio chips last spring. Both Bellagio and Aria are fairly easy to harvest. Here's the Bellagio chips in racks/stacks.

Those Blue Bellagios are the sex!
 
Aria has an Aria house mold and tri-moon spots.

Bellagio has a Bellagio house mold and three 1/4" spots.

They both cost exactly $1 and can be purchased at their respective cages.

Which one gets your arroused?

Anyone been doing any harvesting lately?

Just picked up a couple racks of these. Relabel for horseshoe quarters most likely.
Oklahoma has a 0.50 ante on every hand on every table game so lots of .50 chips here. Problem is that that's the only thing they use them for so when you want two racks they question the hell out of you. Plus the casinos are so small - there were literally only four other players at the table games when I got these.
Four players at seven tables with seven dealers and three pit crew. Big night!

That is one crazy nice 50cent chip! It even looks to be in really good shape.

I'll take 200 of em! Those are great looking! :D:D:D
 
I completed a second Paris rack this weekend. Have NYNY, Paris x2, Sams Town, Mandalay Bay large inlay, Venetian x 2 (thanks Dan), Bellagio x4 (old), Mriage x 2 (old).

The first 4 all by harvest. Still working on Ballys, Primm, Caesars Vegas, large inlay.

At some point I'll post a pic of all the Nevada $1s in one place. I can't tell you why I do it, but I enjoy it.

Didn't you have the Silver Sevens $1's too? Love those.

My local casino is a Choctaw casino in Oklahoma and their 50 cent ante is an ugly yellow ceramic chip. :unsure:

That's a nice ante chip wherever you're getting them though! :eek:

That's is a nice frac. Indigo Sky Casino?
 
If one of my Ventura area chipping buddies were to harvest 200 of these 1s and get a sample set .50-5 I'd be very grateful. Great 2016 chip additions. Forget the inlay, the colors and spots are really good...almost like a true chipper chose them. I really like that newer Paulson spot on the 1. Great Cali colors with an oversized 100.

Gonna have to agree here. Would have preferred a spotted and/or inlaid frac, but I can certainly appreciate the $1-$100 lineup (and this comign from a guy that generally doesn't care for that spot pattern on the hundo).

I would like to toss my name in the ring as well. If someone heads there to harvest I'd also like 200x 1's and a sample set of .50-5 (or 1-5 if the .50 is too hard to get).

Thanks!

Nice! Love the five and awesome with the oversized hundo! The whole lineup looks very strong, even though the inlay is a bit boring.
