i believe that's a security feature on the $25.

Like you can't possibly reprint a circle and a triangle?

Sure but there is micro printing there too which is not that easy to reproduce. But how many dealers or cage workers check chips with a loupe.

RFID???

 

[Tommy]

RFID???

There is that too under the inlay.

 

[BGinGA]

Those symbols may actually just be visual indicators that the chips are RFID enabled.

The $25 would be a good indicator too.

@Taghkanicthe red $5 and felt, really screwing with me lol

Here’s a side-by-side, changing the felt to another color (purple)...

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

how'd u do that lol

 

[Taghkanic]

Image editor. I don’t use Photoshop anymore, but have a cheap alternative (Pixelmator) for Mac.

Yeah, but some $25s have RFID, others don't. Same for $100s and even $500s. Pick up any chip with a symbol, and you know it does, regardless of denomination.

Not all large denom chips have RFID security? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

 

[BGinGA]

Depends on whether or not a given casino purchases RFID capability, and to what extent they wish to track which chips..... which includes a whole lot more investment on their part than just buying chips that are more expensive than non-RFID versions.

Yum!
I’d love to have some of these snappers...

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Have a few (5?) if you're interested or if you want a rack I'll be going back in the next month.

LOVE the MC Fracs in there! Super funny I actually have some of the live ones in my position right now just by chance. That's one sexy set you put together!

I checked it out this week. Some notes and a photo below:

* I have to say, while ultra-minty Paulsons are pretty to look at, they aren’t much fun to handle. I felt like I was getting little microscopic cuts on my fingers from the sharp edges. Don’t know what the ideal is—maybe a month of casino use, to just take a tiny bit of that edge off?

* These didn’t have the lightweight problem I noticed in the otherwise similar new Monticello (Resort’s World) chips. They felt maybe a hair lighter than my Starburst solids, but pretty close.

* There are still some commemorative $5 opening day chips floating around, mixed in with the rest of the reds. Don’t know if those really have much value going forward, but I didn’t save the ones which wound up in my stacks.

* The deep $500 limit makes 1/2 more enticing. Otherwise I would have played 2/5 ($1K limit). At my table there were maybe two thinking players, and the rest (10-handed) were pretty ABC and nitty. One drunk lady who appeared to have a couple racks of red in her purse, but was donking them off one barrel at a time, playing seriously something like 60% of hands to the river.

* They offer free self-serve soda and coffee, and free well drinks/cheap beer via table service (most people tipping just $1 per drink).

* I was told by a couple of locals that if you want to eat, the best bet is the Red Rose—a very old and old school redsauce Italian place next to the casino, which held out and refused to be bought by MGM. I didn’t have time to check it out inside, but it had that Housatonic River Valley authentic look. Will try their pizza next time.

* The casino seemed pretty vast, but I didn’t really explore it.

* If you want to get a player’s card, and don’t want to wait on the long lines downstairs, you can get one made in the poker room (which they don’t tell you downstairs, but I assumed would be the case). They have some reciprocity deals with other casinos if you have a high-level card.

@T_Chan do you look at this railing and cringe? Cry? Laugh?

All of the above

I'll take what you have. Trying to get some pink chips for my almost 4 year old to splash around with.

@Jonesey07 I don't have any that aren't part of sample sets right now but I should be going back again in a few weeks. I'll post here before I go if you're still interested.

That would be much appreciated!

 

[WhiteMamba1646]

I looked at a GPI invoice at my local cardroom tonight. (I’m friends with the owner.) the $1 paulsons we’re definitely under $1 each including art fees and shipping. Barely. Casinos aren’t getting ripped off, but it’s probably a nuissance.

Which card room? I'd like to see the referenced chips.

 

[glom]

I'll snap a pic next time I see my friend if it's not a hassle on him.

 

[BGinGA]

Are they listed in the chip guide?
