Resorts World $2's - Peach outside but Blue inside! Label removal surprise. (1 Viewer)

[BirdCage]

I picked up some Resorts World $2's via PCF for conversion to $20's in a mixed casino house mold set. Upon label removal #1, I found a bit of a surprise - a fat blue slug of chip in the middle of what I expected to be peach through-and-through. Anyone see anything like this before? What's going on here? Left-over blue clay? Saving that good peach clay?!

(P.S. The labels come off very cleanly!)

My guess would be to save the peach color but I have no clue.

Clearly those are fake chips. Send them all to me and I'll properly dispose of them.

Are they all like that? Wonder if all peach is too lightweight? I’m kind of amazed that they can do this.

My guess would be to save the peach color but I have no clue.

I was also thinking it could be to either use an excess of blue material/save peach material. Blue and white are probably the colors of the highest stock so if they had excess lying around why not use it.

haha wtf thats crazy

I originally though maybe it's b/c the label adheres better to blue than peach. But after reading through this, it could be weight and/or supply issues. Either way, that's awesome! It's like when you crack an egg and 2 yolks come out.

My first guess was RFID because changing out the center's color would just be a needless expense, and I've seen RFID chips with similar color switches in the center, but it would make no sense for them to use RFID on a $2 chip, so I really don't have a solid idea.

I think Resorts World did RFID on all chips

Time to see what's under chip #2!

Well in that case it's just the RFID encasement. The RFID chip is encased in a plastic covering, and then that is further covered in one half of a round clay disk so that it can be inserted into a punched-out section of the chip. The color blue was probably just chosen because of what was mentioned above; it is a common color and they likely had overflow from another order.

Think we have a winner. Each chip has one blue side and one peach. RFID insert or maybe reflective indicator of some kind?

So freaky.

I think you're obligated to further murder the chip and dig out the rfid insert at this point? Have any spares?

This!

Please

Only way to know for sure (about RFID) is to snap a couple of those suckers in half

My knife work stops here! No spares. Maybe another soul will take the next step in the name of science and exploration.

I will definitely contribute a buck to the 'kill it dead' GoFundMe.

19 chips do not a barrel make.

Perhaps @justincarothers had 101 or more chips in his rack?

@casinochipper22 has extras for sale. https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/resorts-world-sample-sets.77320/ I got an extra 2 with my sample set. Hadn't really intended to murder it though

As an aside, they’d make great house mold fracs, IMHO.

It's another chip!

Or get an RFID reader.

It's like breast implants. One might be surprised upon discovering them. One might even be disappointed. But what are you going to do, become a hater?

 

[BGinGA]

So much for the 'certain colors weigh more than others' theory.....

 

[CrazyEddie]

... wait a second.

That means the Resort World chips are METAL SLUGGED !!!!

It appears that even the $1 chip is RFID chipped.

“Resorts World Las Vegas will be the first casino resort to introduce “Smart Table,” which will use RFID embedded chips for every dollar denomination to provide 100% accuracy of guests’ gaming activity. This innovative and ground-breaking solution ensures guests receive the most accurate recognition through the resort’s loyalty program.”

Finally some official casino weight casino chips!

Wait, so are all the denoms blue on the inside, or are there different colors inside the 1s, for example?
