Hello, Like my heading says I just bought a few days ago loose chips from 2 vendors. I am buying a 500 chip set of Royale Flush. I should get them at the latest tuesday.
I am almost drooling over the gallery pics on PCF and from youtube videos.

Curious on how involved it is to custom chips (micro and low limit denom's). I haven't played in those buy-ins in LV in over 10 yrs.

Big question, can I duplicate and reprint a defunct casino chip with a slight variation not to be accused of. I thought a small dot on the face not to get in the way of the aesthetically
pleasing face of the chip.

Maybe the best Occam Razor approach would be to be original and come up with my own: Tiki Lounge with the same Tiki mug in the middle.

One last question: when you get a set or loose chip with a cracked chip,, besides contacting the vendor, what is the protocol?

Anywho, Thanks for your input.

It depends what company you want to make customs with and the chip-type itself. There are artists here that can help you with artwork, but most are extremely busy. People are generally happy to help with opinions and ideas, just be ready for harsh ones. It isn't like this place for people to hold back their opinions on literally anything and everything. Intentions are usually good though.

In most cases, yes.

I would say that's the protocol.

You didn't ask, but I would recommend to slow down on the buying to take your time in finding what would truly suit your fancy or your games. When I first joined, my aims basically changed daily.
 
Wow! Much appreciate the fast reply. Most correct re. slow down and find out what I like. Too easy to fall down the rabbit hole and get tapped out and run out of room. I am waiting on Royal Flush 500 chips for small stakes. I also bought sample chips from Discount and loose chips from BR as well. I have old postcards of Vegas too. With postcards, Deltiologists must specialize. I like diner cards but ONLY if I like the view.
Thank you again.
 
Welcome! I agree. Slow down and take your time. Buying samples sets, whether from vendors or other members here, should be your starting point so you can get an idea of what you like.

Also, where about in Pittsburgh?
 
I am between Greenfield and Sq Hill.

I bought about 3 sets with about 10 denominations and like I might've mentioned way above Royal Flush 500 chips low denominations from BR.

Are you in Pgh.?
 
Thank you. I was in Singapore in 2002 and 2004. They love their food.

Good Morning from Pittsburgh. And Happy Friday. If I buy sets, maybe 2 sets and spring for a custom.

Hi,

Welcome to PCF
Like I mentioned, I was in Singapore in 2002 and 2004. I sent a postcard of the Orchard Hotel back to myself. I did scoop up postcards for my collection. I have Sling glass from Raffles. I still where my Raffles t-shirt and it still fits. Have to fight the moths for it. I had Breadtalk stock until it was delisted. Now I am going to see if there are interesting chips from your city-state. You noticed I didn't type country. I wish you well.

I am buying a few sample sets and then maybe 2 acrylic racks with covers later. I am purchasing 500 set Royal Flush from Discount.

I went to Chip Guide and looked for chips in my area. Nothing I really want to purchase. I have to keep it simple.

reiterating, I went on google and typed singapore casino chips. I clicked and got the popup. Shouldn't you be sleeping?

Thanks for the FYI. Even if they are plastic, I might like the image.
I love my MBS sample set :)

Haha, I a night owl still a bit early for my bed time
I tell my lady friend in Mex, who I visited when my passport was good. I email her when I get these texts at 3 am, are you a vampire. She doesn't respond. I don't think she likes chips either.
 
Glad you found your way here.
I find this site to be very supportive and helpful. I have a small collection of Vegas $1 and recently sample chips.

They arrived! My first set and barrels of the second picture. I like them because they look traditional.

I am accumulating sample sets that interest me. I am waiting on Dead Presidents and King of Spades.

I will slow down after I get those Bank and Majestic chips when they become available in May and June. I have the Royal Flush set with some barrels of 25 and Majestic 100/25/5. I am getting a set and sample set of Lucky Horseshoe. I have about 12 sample sets but will not purchase the quirky ones. I hope you are well.
