Post your favorite non casino-like poker chips (3 Viewers)

[ChipWhisperer]

So I know I am in the minority here but I prefer the design of my chips to not look like they came out of my local poker club or casino. Think Super Poker World (SPW), Tiki Kings, Metal Slug Outlaws, etc.

Thinking I eventually would like to participate in a SPW group buy but want to see what I am missing. Any pictures of your favorites would be appreciated.

I got a DDLM set for my sons and their friends, as an alternative to them using my Paulsons or CPCs.
Here’s an early photo, now it’s up to 1,400 chips and 60 plaques.

Ok, it ended up not being JUST for my sons.

Well, for this, I’ve put my money where my mouth is with a Dia de los Muertos set from BR Pro Poker: https://brpropoker.com/collections/dia-de-los-muertos

This was my first level up from dice chips and we still get them in the mix today.

My only problem is bought before I knew more about good breakdowns and denominations, so if I had a do-over I would definitely change up my order - but not because of the art or quality!

DDLMs would be a perfect example of what I am looking for.

These bad boys. Its been said that these are the greatest chips ever.

 

[ChipWhisperer]

If you said that then it is technically true.

I love the way these look.

Shit, he's on to me!

Thanks man, me too. I agree with you, I didn't grow up with casino chips or Paulsons so I went for pretty colors that I liked.

Somebody ought to grab that guy and slap him around until he sobers up.

Ha! Solid one! I get it, cause you don't like them?

Oh, I like them fine. They just strain my brain trying to figure out all the possibilities of what "The Ice Cardroom" could possibly mean. (And yeah, I've been to McMurdo... )

I believe you! I meant the poker game I dealt, spent 9 months working and dealing, put it in a thread somewhere on here.

Nice, McMurdo has a crazy summer population. Ours was 40 max, cant imagine 1000 people on ice.

I like the look of these but those denominations give me an aneurysm.

See, there's my confusion again! When I went down to McMurdo, it was to pick up the body of a dead general, who was -- quite literally -- "on ice".

They're a lot easier to handle if you have a thing for prime numbers and the New York Yankees...as well as a lucky number of 13.

You should add a penguin shaped dealer button.

Jello chips, not from the jello casino. But I like them.

Travis McGee! I honestly think those books should be required reading for high school.

Ill make them scratch and sniff so you hate them too, perfect!

Agreed! I didn't know until we retired and moved down here that he lived nearby, waterfront on Siesta Key. A big place with one bedroom, and he kept a printed list of local hotels by his front door to hand out to "guests"...

I love the denominations! They'd be great for math class.

I know right? It's just a fraction of a donkey... how is it even still standing?!

You might enjoy the backstory. It should be required reading for new members.

Just noticed the DETROIT on the $100. Why Detroit? lol

Because many of the scrub donkey chips are a parody of chips we hold dear.
The Jack Ass is a nod to Jack Detroit. That $5 is a DDLM, the donkey and cane is WTHC, etc.

I’m not sure about some of the others

This scrub foal has a lot to learn.

Merely assumed that the chips were a collection of funny donkey pictures.

Forgot that this is the forum where people spend months debating inlays and chip progressions (myself included...)

Well played PCF, well played.
