The chips are BEAUTIFUL, but what is the design above the denomination? It looks like a snail that lost its shell while eating a black olive.

Tell you what. Buy 10,000 Midnight Casino chips as part of a second group buy and I will go ahead and be as quiet as you want. I will just make sure you get them.
You know what? Make it 19,000, for Covid-19. I figure giving a great company like Sunfly about $13.8k is enough to buy my silence.
plus then you will see a *REALLY* awesomely designed chip, technically you will see thousands of them but I digress.

I'm not sure myself. I thought it was a tipped over pile of turds myself until I got on my laptop.
I know casinos aren't in the business of making the most elegant looking chips, but a different color for the "gold coins" design would have made a difference. It's weird because the Aztars are gorgeous, and many casino chip collectors consider this a holy grail and I guess I can respect that, but to me it's like that transgender on the cover of SI: It's definitely for someone but not for me.
You're really out of your element here, bro.Tell you what. Buy 10,000 Midnight Casino chips as part of a second group buy and I will go ahead and be as quiet as you want. I will just make sure you get them.

I've already transferred $20,000 to $30,000 to Sun-Fly more than once. Never felt like I had to toot my own horn about the chips, either. I let that kind of stuff speak for itself.
Solid 5. Does not disappoint. I had to show blocked content to see this one. Definitely worth it.Not going to leave that dead horse alone, are you?
I showed this chip to 5 of my friends who I play poker with, none of whom were abundantly impressed, the infamous words of Sierra telling me it looked like it was made in the '70s, I see still resonates. The clay stripes on the 1 and 100 are colorful and vibrant and I like that the inlay is textured, but the rest of it didn't do anything for me, from the green font that looks extremely traditional and like something a bunch of marketing people would come up with instead of gamblers or chip designers to the pot.
I do agree with @ChipEnvy , in that I had to fire up my laptop because I thought it was a bucket of turds in the background and the first time I saw it on my tiny 6" screen on my phone I said "it can't be that", and the colors I really wish they had sprung for metallic gold, because I have *never* liked the rust colored brown that passes for gold that people use, even on team logos, which is why I only really respect the 49ers and Saints in that regard. I am the same way with silver. To me, metallic silver when it shines is one of the best colors out there, only if it works really well (like with Midnight Casino's 500s) do I enjoy the grey that they call silver.
Some people prefer traditional style poker chips like those and more power to them, but my opinion on this is well known I am NOT starting another flame war with the boardies.
Sorry if this didn't meet your criteria there @RichMahogany but I have spent the last 3 months as part of a coaching program to work on life skills and nothing will be gained from me starting another flame war here ,(hint: that's also why I haven't been posting here as much). I honestly would rather focus that energy on something more fun and lively like the chips I do like or my call to a girl tomorrow to practice my skills (also she is a very legal 30 years old).
You and me both. I had forgotten about him.... 5/5 with rice.

Then another $14k wouldn't do jack with you, now would it?
Also I don't toot either, I just don't give a chainsaw* and saw how far you would go for me to be quiet.
* = I could describe it for you but it is funnier for you to see it yourself:
Like these chips a lot, but hate the inlays. The image always makes me think of an open-wheeled racecar...

That's a lot of words for "I'm too chicken to have a garage full of ass kicking 21st century chips".
I could go on a tear and tell you why I don't give a chainsaw what you think of me but all that's important is that I don't.
I can respect you're a collector and a mod, but really, for $30k, I could build an entire party domicile complete with retro gaming consoles on an 80" 4k TV, air hockey and billiard tables, Nerf and water guns, possibly even a planetarium room, a dartboard, a Foosball table, a karaoke machine with good microphones, a 500 watt stereo with Bluetooth connectivity for any Spotify Playlist on demand (yes, even hip hop), a series of LED/Neon signs for fun and vibrance, have all my poker chips (and table) for a poker room and still have thousands left to entertain anybody that comes over with my finely tuned new life skills.
But one thing I won't have are these chips. I don't know how I will soldier on but I will somehow.
