I wasn’t sure whether to put this in the Classifieds or somewhere else, but I’m looking to buy some numbered lammers (picture for reference) to track rebuys, and the cheapest ones I can find online are $1.50 apiece. Really? A tiny plastic disc for the same price per unit as a decent RHC or secondhand CPC?

I wonder if anyone on here has ever made their own, or knows where these could be sourced for cheaper. I’ve tried to search back but haven’t been able to find much. Thanks!

So for poker these are typically use in casinos for chip runners, could you elaborate on what your process for tracking rebuys etc is and how you plan to use them?

The way I’ve seen it work is, everyone starts with an amount of chips - the initial buyin - plus an amount of lammers for rebuys which are not in play. For example, $500 in chips and $5K in lammers. At the end of the night you trade in your chips + lammers and that’s how much you’re up/down on the night for settling up. It limits pay-as-you-go transactions for rebuys and addons but eliminates the possibility for error in “no I wasn’t actually in for that much you’ve got the wrong count.”

In your photo you don't have bounty buttons, if you're not using them, I would pick some up so you can then use them as rebuy buttons.

Lammers are smaller and people will drop or are more likely to lose them.

These all in buttons people use as bounty buttons as well.

But what I really like is these rebuy buttons

At that price you might as well pick your favorite print from the Tina's group buy. With shipping and everything it's still less than .50 a chip. Just an idea.

Yeah price point-wise for sure. I'd prefer to have something distinctly different from chips so everyone knows at a glance roughly how much someone has on the table. I thought these tiny plastic discs would be a few cents each, not 3x the price of Tinas!
 
You could probably have some 3d printed for not too much at a local maker space, there are free files available for that sort of thing for turn counters and the like and they'd use very very little plastic.

If I was home I would be starting this up. That's a great idea. Just be sure they stay on the table, just in case anyone gets any bright ideas to duplicate them theu would be taking photos and studying them. This would be a lot of effort for a few bucks, so most likely not an issue. But who knows. :unsure:

I always thought they were to determine what various chip colors on the roulette table stood for. So one guy could be betting $5 a chip, while the other was betting $500. This would allow the croupier to determine the value of their cash out or in.

I’ve not seen this used in the context of poker either. It seems like it’s being used as a credit line/max loss that each player has.
 
I've seen them used as temporary markers when the floor comes to make change for a dealer, they'll give the dealer the lammers to denote how much they took and then take them back after the dealer has verified the count.

Not that I know everything. Hell I barely know anything. But that's the only context I'm familiar with them.
 
I love roulette, its the only table game I play really.

I've seen it used for chip runners and roulette. The kwel kids just ask to play nickels inside so they don't get a marker and can just walk off the table at will.

The problem I’ve seen it solve for hosts and hope to solve for me is
1) having an accurate record of who is in for how much, with the goal of
2) limiting digital transactions to one settle-up at the end of the night

Ofc there are issues of player trust but that’s outside the scope of this thread.
 
These would be fairly simple to 3d print I think. I’m not home till the weekend but reach out and I’ll see what it would take. Shipping would likely be the killer. GB and ship to one address ;)

I've already been in touch with a member about 3D printing and will def reach out if it falls through.
