Most Beautiful Casino Racks (2 Viewers)

Looks like they are finally replacing Lac Courte Oreilles chips. The new ones look plastic, but look nice.

Calling all PCF vendors. Look these guys up and get those chips. If we are lucky they have secondaries.

I like how they took the time to clean up the old chips before photographing them.
 
New ones look like ceramics to me. Dunno of any plastics manufacturer offering anything even close to those patterns.
 
Some good chips have emerged from Illinois. The Casino Queen chips below were replaced in 2007, but the Casino Queen stayed the Casino Queen, which is why I imagine the chip room never got these like he did with other Illinois casinos like Empress, which is not Empress anymore.

I own most of the chips through the $5 chips now, but I love all of them. I doubt I ever get the $100s and above due to cost/availability, but the full 13 chips in a sample would be worth framing. Simple inlay, and the denomination color matches the edgespot color on almost all the chips. The earlier chips are leaded. These are not THC chips, but the house mold has a large rim so they handle like a THC. Inlays are textured and most are shaped, just like PCAs. This whole rack is lit, woke, sick, hip, and cool.

Dibs on the $1 & $2’s
 
1982 issue El Rancho. Nice large house mold! I think this is a very cool casino rack- house mold, hotstamped frac, textured shaped inlays (see $100 pic).

Pics from Chip Guide, various contributors. Extra $100 pic taken from eBay.

Any news on whether those LCO chips will find their way to the secondary market? Cleaned up those would be pretty nice.
 
Sometimes you see chips you've never seen before, and they surprise you. These chips did that to me.

According to chipguide, Biloxi Belle was open for about 2-3 years in the mid nineties. That means these are fully leaded Paulsons, with shaped textured inlays. The 1k is oversized. When the casino closed, they probably plowed these chips into a parking lot or something. That's too bad, because I predict these would be HIGHLY sought after if they escaped destruction. Anybody have a set?
 
Whose game is that? Can they not share the info of where they got them? Would love to buy a set!
I don't know the story about the chips yet. I don't know if they can share, or if they just haven't had the opportunity to post the story. I will be talking to the owner next week and will have something to share after that (if the story hasn't broken first).

Cool thanks
 
I do try to collect singles of some of these racks I've posted. Some are easier than others...

I know somebody with one of the two Casino Queen $25s, and also the Ameristar $25. If somebody buys my Horseshoe micro set, I can pull the trigger and get them...
 
Been a while in this thread. Thought I would post again. I'm thinking of some small crown CPC custom chips, because I have an inlaid color small crown sample color set, and they are fantastic. Then I thought about the FAR less loved large crown mold and did some research. Do you know how many casinos or card rooms EVER made inlaid chips on the large crown mold?

Two Cali cardrooms and one Vegas casino. That's the list. Beautiful chips, and lots of shaped inlays.
