Poker Mixed Game Buttons (3”) (12 Viewers)

[bergs]

I’ve been playing the mixed games at the local casino for a couple years weekly now, and I’ve always really liked the game buttons that they use. An example is attached below from the casino.

I finally tracked down who created these (~2500 worth) and I’m working with her to create some for my home game / meetup with my bulldog Rex as the watermark background.

I’m at the point where everyone knows the mechanics of each game so we don’t need all the detail on the cards that you often see, and we just want an easy way to establish a rotation or give people the ability to choose a game without using up too much table space, plus these double as a dealer button nicely. I’ve got about 50ish games I’m interested in having buttons for (fixed and pot limit). Having a rotation of 8-12 games is perfect for a home game or just provide a stack of a dozen and let people pick at a true dealer’s choice setup.

Would there be any interest from the community in these? I’m not looking to play middle man or anything of that sort - I’ll post mine once I get ‘em and if there is enough interest I’ll invite her to create an account here and help people directly get these into their own home games.

100%.

Honestly seems SO much more useful than the cards. From an aesthetics perspective, from a form and function perspective, from storage and in game use/felt/table area usage perspective.

Eh. I’m all for putting money in the hands of original creators and artists and such but…they look like circles with the name of the game.

Like the personal connection of having the same exact things at your casino at your home is great, but is there something super unique about these? If not, we have an army of vendors and designers here who already run group buys, design specific to poker, mass ship/reship, etc.

Either way I dig it, but the work to make this happen through a tertiary currently offsite entity may be a bit compared to finding someone to run with it here.

I'd be in for a set. Would be good for my usual crew that knows these games. Still would be bringing out the game cards for a couple of folks though.

I’d help her create an account here and start a vendor forum and just run with it. She’s here in Arizona.

I’ve been looking for something specifically this size with this thickness with color and watermark options and haven’t found it. These are sturdy too - they get tossed around multiple days per week for a few years now and they’re still going strong.

So far it’s been easy working with her. I gave her a list of games and a photo of Rex from my iPhone and she takes it from there. I saw a preliminary mockup and it looked fantastic - asked for one small tweak. Once I get it I’ll post it here for awareness & interest.

Update - just got these today - 2 day turnaround - and they are AWESOME!

3” diameter and serve well as a dealer button during play, sturdy plastic, really vibrant colors, stack like bricks, and it’s got my bulldog Rex as the watermark.

I love these. Can’t wait to get them into play.

Ophelia (local here who made these for me and for the local casinos) is probably going to get a vendor forum so be on the lookout. Very reasonable prices, ultra fast turnaround and fantastic product.

She can do any games you want and the background watermark can just be a picture off your phone. I went with these games as they’re the ones I see most often at meetups and my old home game, and some limit variants here in the casinos that I hope to recreate in an occasional home game here. Cut card provided as a reference.

Here’s the mix in my local casino:

I used the Dealer’s Choice button to cover any games I didn’t have buttons for.

Basically stack these next to the player where the games will change and either use them to help people pick the next game on their orbit, or just play a rotation. They stack well and stay out of the action while playing (10 buttons here with card box for reference):

Highly recommend you check these out if Ophelia opens a vendor forum here. I hope she does - would love to use these at meetups and such.
