Pokerstore new cash set FULL mockup (1 Viewer)

[Gunnar]

Set is in the works

We are getting a sample chip printed on monday. This is a ceramic set made by Pokerstore.is and designed by @PokerChipsDesign

The set has 12 values + bounty + dealer button

 

[Gunnar]

Here is a full mockup. I would love to get feedback on colors and spots

 

[Ellasdaddy]

I like the simple, elegant design.

I think the 10k needs 2 more blue spots to look perfect but I understand the spot progression there. Personally I dislike brown based chips regardless.

I like the bounty turquoise better than the blue of the 50. Too nice to just make that the bounty, I think.

I love the 25K you originally posted. With the green and yellow. But I also love your white 25k. I'd hope the pink base sees more felt though.

I personally would look for more unique or exotic colors for the plaques. Maybe consider the turquoise here? Or use the Dealer pattern on one of them?

Nice set. I say ditch the 50 and 250, make the 500 the bounty blue, and the 5k the 250 pink.

Otherwise... looks great!! (y) :thumbsup:

Maybe I will use the bounty color on the 50. We are looking for something to make the 1.000.000 plaque pop.

Those denoms are both crucial to my games
50/100

And 250/500 limit pink chip game

 

[CdnBeerLover]

Set looks clean and elegant. Nicely done!

I really like the design, and most of the color combinations. However, if this is a set designed for sale to the general public, I'd want to see these changes:

• use two spots on the 100
• use three spots on the 500
• add two more blue spots on the 10.000, or dump this rather useless chip altogether
• the three highest denoms (10.000 and higher) need to be the same size. Chips in four different sizes (plus plaques) is just a really bad idea in practice.
• convert the blue 50 chip to a 1 denomination and convert the pink 250 chip to a .25 denomination, both of which will be desireable. As-is, both chips have extremely limited value.
• buyer option to use comma instead of period on five digit denominations
• buyer option to drop or replace KRONUR as the currency designation

I really like the blue/brown/white colors/spots on the 5.000 and the 10.000 chips, but not both together in the same set. Both chips share the same colors, and as such they actually detract from one another rather than enhance -- especially when adjacent in the lineup and in play together.

And....

You don't need a 50 chip for a 50/100 game. The 25 chip works just fine.

What are you using for the small blind (actual sb amount and chip denominations used) in your 250/500 limit game? The big blind and the fixed bet amounts pre-flop and flop are all 250 (with 500 turn and river bets). Planning on using five 25 chips to post a 125 small blind? Or is it really a 500/1000 limit game?

I really like the design, and most of the color combinations. However, if this is a set designed for sale to the general public, I'd want to see these changes:
This is set designed for my company as a cash game set that can host any game from 5-10 to 500/1000. We also rent out a package with dealer, table and set so we must have a cash set that can handle any private game.

• use two spots on the 100 - I will test it
• use three spots on the 500 - I will test it
• add two more blue spots on the 10.000, or dump this rather useless chip altogether - Maybe it is wrong but in 100/200 game here in Iceland the clubs use 100-500-1000-5000-10000-25000 so the 10.000 is something that players are used to having. Do you think no matter what stakes are being played this is always a useless chip ?
• the three highest denoms (10.000 and higher) need to be the same size. Chips in four different sizes (plus plaques) is just a really bad idea in practice. When you say it, then maybe it is better to have the 10.000 and 25.000 the same size. I really like to have the highest chips a little bigger and the plaque will most likely have no other job than to showcase as it will probable never hit the felt.
• convert the blue 50 chip to a 1 denomination and convert the pink 250 chip to a .25 denomination, both of which will be desireable. As-is, both chips have extremely limited value. As this is a cash game set in Icelandic Krónur I think this is inrelevant

I really like the blue/brown/white colors/spots on the 5.000 and the 10.000 chips, but not both together in the same set. Both chips share the same colors, and as such they actually detract from one another rather than enhance -- especially when adjacent in the lineup and in play together. Fair point, maybe we should drop the 10k or have the 5k with red spots.

And....

You don't need a 50 chip for a 50/100 game. The 25 chip works just fine. I know everybody here, me included like more chips in play, but why not have the 50 chip for 50/100 when that is a pretty common stake for my homegame and a popular stake in Iceland.

What are you using for the small blind (actual sb amount and chip denominations used) in your 250/500 limit game? The big blind and the fixed bet amounts pre-flop and flop are all 250 (with 500 turn and river bets). Planning on using five 25 chips to post a 125 small blind? Or is it really a 500/1000 limit game?

To be honest I have no experience in limit games. I just love pink snappers so I have a dream that I can get my group to play some kind of pink chip game. That is why this chip is there and not in the spot progression

 

[dickzapper]

Love the look. Seeing a single spot on a 100 looks unusual to me. I'd maybe rather see 2 spots on 100 and 3 on 500 ala what BG said, as well. And I also agree I'm not crazy about brown chips but that 10k looks really nice.

Maybe make the 1M plaque the bounty color and change the bounty chip.

 

[BGinGA]

Maybe it is wrong but in 100/200 game here in Iceland the clubs use 100-500-1000-5000-10000-25000 so the 10.000 is something that players are used to having. Do you think no matter what stakes are being played this is always a useless chip ?

Yes. When combined with 5.000 and 25.000 chips, the 10.000 chip adds no value, in cash or tournament play. More individual chips is not always better -- having multiple denominations in play simply makes betting and counting pots harder.

I know everybody here, me included like more chips in play, but why not have the 50 chip for 50/100

Exact same reason you don't have a 10 denomination chip for your 5/10 game or a 200 chip for your 100/200 game. Denominations that just 2x away from adjacent chips are very inefficient, and can always be replaced with better alternatives.

Not to mention a total PIA for tourney directors trying to color up all of the nonsense.

So you are saying that the ideal starting stacks for 50\100 game with 5k min buy-in Han 25 chips rather than 50 chips ?

There are three options for small chips in this game


Have both 25 and 100
Have both 50 and 100
Have both 50 and 250

What do you prefer ?

 

[PokerChipsDesign]

25/100 is more versatile than 50/100 IMO

But if you feel that it's important to have a 250 chip in your set then you should get one too

 

[BGinGA]

What I am saying is that there is no reason to create a 50 chip just for a 50/100 game, if 25 chips are already in existence and used in other games. It's just not needed.

I understand that point of view. I personally think it is worth it to add few 50 only for that game as I like to play with them in 50\100

I think I will drop the 10.000 chip to let the 5.000 chip enjoy the spotlight a little more and get more 25k into play.

 

[Gunnar]

We did a test print of a pink 25k to see how it looks.

I think that we will rethink the black fade on the edge

 

[Gunnar]

So here is the final colors. The set is total 5420 chips

Diffrent from this photo we have made the shadow on the inlay a little softer

 

[Gunnar]

Got some samples in my hands

Who was the chip manufacturer?

 

[dickzapper]

Well I can't feel them through the forum post but they might be the nicest looking ceramics I've ever seen! Love the 1k and 250 especially.

 

[Gunnar]

Who was the chip manufacturer?

I have a partner factory in China. Made by us

Thanks I wished I could have been able to offer sample sets but with this high face value I just could not do it. I made one that I gave away on the SQM. But that set is still short on UV and Serial on the higher value chips
