We're down to three. Lake Elsinore couldn't quite shake off Great Wall convincingly enough for me to exclude the Great Wall from the final, so this vote contains three chips. Pick one!

Yeah how did you rig this bracket to get Great Wall into the finals? I mean I’m not accusing you of intentional skullduggery, but this seems shocking to me and not at all right.

Great Wall was the best performing green chip, and almost tied with Elsinore in the semifinals. It technically lost, and I could have excluded it, but it didn't feel right. I'm more well-versed in statistics than the average person, and I will guarantee that there is nothing scientific about any of these polls. :D

I scratch my head at some of the results of these polls too.

It’s the grouping of the polls imho. I know you get paid a lot to do this but the groupings whether done randomly or not equates to chip gerrymandering.

Silver Saddle should’ve easily knocked Lake Elsinore out in a semifinal grouping.
Probably. They were in separate semifinals because they were the best two performing chips in the previous round. It was pretty obvious in that round that it was likely going to come down to those two. Any green chips were fighting for third. But I ran eight or nine chips in the semifinals anyway because you never know. Great Wall outperformed there I would argue. So now it’s here too!

That Great Wall is so underwhelming…I can’t believe it’s scoring better than the Lake Elsinore. I can’t believe it got the highest score among all the green chips. I mean… that inlay is such a turd. The off center black denom :vomit: a “great turd” in radioactive colors

My prediction... The "25 should be green" crowd are all going to vote for Great Wall, the rest will split between Silver Saddle and Elsinore with Silver Saddle having the edge there, but I think a lot of those voters would put the Elsinore 2nd or choose it over the Great Wall if they were head to head (thus explaining how it beat GW in the semi but loses to it here).

I just did. BOOM!
Seems only fair, since the green $25 votes were split in all the earlier rounds.

I also think the rack picture is flattering…

Edit: had the Macon County $25 been pictured in a rack they’d be winning this thing imo

It ain't over yet, but it's over. There is no catching up for the other two. With as many votes as the other two combined, PCF's favorite $25 casino chip is:

Silver Saddle

A very fine chip. It's not green, but the question was not "favorite green $25 chip". I like the chip a lot, it's definitely one of the great all time Cali chips. You can use it with red or yellow fives easily, and white $1 chips. Light blue $1 chips in a set with this might not be great. The right black $100 could work easily.

Hot stamps always lose. That's rule two of these contests. Rule one is a THC chip always wins. The 60-80 people who actually vote have a definite preference for inlaid THC chips.

I regret not harvesting Elsinore 25s, I'm like an hour away.

Knew about it after changing to a new one, can't believe it was used until last year
