Could someone confirm? Wondering what they'll do with the old chips...

The Nice Marysville casino chips with an amazing yellow $1 went the same way
except worse with Icon ceramic junk

Love that original $25!

We keep taking all their chips, so they have to make uglier ones

Still looking for a couple of sharp (as can be) $100s if anyone’s around there.

Those old $25s are amazing

Now the chips match the town! Ugly and bland

I pictured it as a beautiful lake in my mind, like a mini Lake Tahoe. I’m assuming it’s not a very nice area?

It was a shit hole back when I lived in the area. Although it's grown and is "nicer" now, it's still ugly and boring. The lake itself has been drying out for years and has shrunk noticeably since our family moved nearby in the mid/late 80s.

I mean, if you like unremarkable strip malls, chain stores, terrible food, and having nothing to do then I suppose it's great! It's also hot as hell and far from any place with decent food and culture.

Wow. They look straight out of the Lake Elsinore Tourism Bureau or Chamber of Commerce or gift shop.

One more casino customer down for Paulson clay. Home market waiting game taking one more step in the right direction.

It might soon be the only market to sell to

Which means they won't make them at all.

That 8v $4 looks pretty nice!

I’d love to have that in my collection for sure. I love red/black/yellow chips

Harvest a couple of racks of those from the 4/8 limit tables and they'll still be cheaper than the RPC $5's that look similar

Considering what going rate for other casino THCs are going for right now, it's probably even money.

I'm not sure if you've seen DonkFishPoker on youtube, that's his home court, says he'll have video of the new chips in a few weeks

 

[davislane]

better get a mint hundo pretty quick!

I'm gonna be in Temecula for a weekend soon. Think it's worth a trip to see if any of the older chips are harvestable? (I don't mean racks, just a few chips as keepsakes.) Are any of the other casinos around there (Pechanga, Pala, etc.) worth checking out for the chips while I'm in the area?

Here is a sample of most of the surrounding areas chips. Admittedly not everything nearby, but should give you an idea of where you may want to go.

I might try to make it over to Lake Elsinore this week to check on the new chips there. I can say that the old $1s and $5s there are all really worn out and full of hooker juice!

Sadly heard (second or third hand) that they switched the chips out completely at Lake Elsinore. Unrelated, IIRC Agua and Jamul have some pretty cool snappers.

It was time for new chips there, for sure in my opinion. But if the above design is correct...I'm not a fan of their choice! I'll definitely go grab at least a new $1 soon, though.

Was trying to get a $100 or two there for a while but I didn't push it enough and now there's likely only a handful out there. Hopefully someones bugging them about what they're doing with their old chips

 

[jabsolstice]

I will ask them. I'm on at least a first name basis with just about the entire staff. Maybe they can slip me one or two.

No dice yesterday. I snagged a $1 chip for the collection, but the main floor there was not in a position to sell me any old chips. Looks like all of them have been swapped out. Personally, I'm not a fan of the new ones.

I do have 2 of the dealers trying to work some magic for me to get a couple $100s, though. So I may have something by next week. I'll let you know.

 

[PocketAces]

my best guess is these chips will end up in the hands of a chips dealer - like pretty much every single other Cali Cardroom that closed or else. Im pretty sure we will see them again

So…who is working on scoring the old chips?
