Stoked about this lineup - What do you think? (1 Viewer)

Stoked about this lineup.

It's not a "perfect" Vegas house mold because the $1 will be standard THC. But I dig spot progression, love the traditional vegas colors and condition should all match close enough. And I'll have the perfect bank for my game.

1 X 200
5 X 1000 (double booyah PCF standard)
25 X 80
100 X 20 (non baccarat/visual only)

And possibly a few of these if needed...

Don't like the dark green and black chips as the $25/$100. I'd go with a white $100 if you're dead set on the $25

Going for a classic Vegas color lineup, all house mold but the $1.

The $25 has proven to be difficult to find a pair with my Bally $5's. Thought I was happy with my Vegas World $25s, but it's a hot stamp and those got inserted into my mixed hot stamp set.

I dig the GN because it's a shaped inlay and the edge spots are bright to make up for the meh green (Green chip worse chip? @MrCatPants)

A couple of years ago, I’d have given you a list of criticisms. But since then, I’ve built a mixed set that that I love that’s currently my only big bet cash set, and it breaks most of the rules too. So as long as you like it, fuck ‘em.

 

[BPTDirector]

Personally I don’t like to mix light and dark inlays and not amazed by over labels. That’s probably just me though. I have something in my cash set I’m happy with but others would be very hesitant to do, my fracs are CPC FDL mold, while the rest of the mixed set is RHC Paulson.

 

[upNdown]

But I dig spot progression

But this is a good example of why I say spot progression is fiction. Or a door to a good discussion. You think that bellagio has a more complex spot pattern than the golden nugget. I disagree. I don’t think either of us is right or wrong, mostly because spot progression is bs.

I don't like the 25 in that line up, I don't like to mix inlay colors, but this instance doesn't trigger me. Mixing molds is a bit more of a trigger, but this would be okay.

I wouldn't write home about it. ...

If you like em you… you like em

But, that’s a lot of mixing. Inlay colors. Shaped inlays and. Not. House molds and not. GN $25 is a meh chip and feels completely overshadowed by what it’s crammed between

Totally. Just enjoying the chippin' feedback and everyone's taste. Mixed sets can't be perfect. Hell, most casinos can't figure out their own chips lol.

It's pretty much house mold and I like how each chip has a unique mold. Also some significance with Bally's and Paris being Casinos that were one building essentially.

I didn't realize/notice the inlays were all white but the Bellagio @BPTDirector ! Thankfully that also doesn't tilt me because the $100 is a black chip. I'm tempted to insert the Dunes $100 but that adds a lot of radiant red/salmon colors.

At this time in chipping, if you can land a shaped inlay you just go for it and be happy you can include it in the set is my thoughts @FestiveKnight

@upNdown I think the Bellagio spots are different enough than the $25 they can be argued for or against as being more complex but continue to "progress" certainly from the Paris $1 at minimal.

Lot of hate on the GN $25, but can anyone come up with a readily available alternative solution...I'm all ears!

 

[detroitdad]

I like it. I think it has a solid color and pitch spot progression. I love to mixed sets. Well done

How about a Planet Hollywood 25? If Paris and Ballys are twins, PH is their younger bro. They're all Caesars properties on the same side of the street.

A suggestion! Fun chip, atrocious inlay.

Wow. That is a chip so ugly it could win an ugly award.

 

[improviseallday]

I always forget about inlay matching, my bad lol

 

[wickedwonka121]

I would recommend you too "double booyah" if your $25 had the same mint green as the other spots.

 

[BGinGA]

You need a $100 chip with a white shaped inlay, preferably a Vegas house mold.

That Bellagio hundo sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

[bernielomax]

I vote you go back to the drawing board.

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

I like it and the fact you are stoked about it says it all, I am same way, LOVE my line up and don't care what anyone says because only real opinions that matter are mine, hell my players have no idea the chips on the table are worth more than the money we play for each month....but again I do it for me

Dunes $100 is a slam dunk (but I have a Dunes set where is the fun in that?)

Paris $100 and Wynn $100 work

Love the HSI JD pairing

 

[Matco]

RW hundo might look good..

 

[doublebooyah85]

I will have the $25s in possession before I go harvest the $100. Gives my time to make a change. Good feedback everyone, thanks!

 

[BGinGA]

Dunes or Tropicana is the way....

 

[davislane]

bellagio $1s or any on the other housemold $1s you own.

You should think about a green $25, which would free you up to use the Golden Nugget $100

 

[doublebooyah85]

Ahhh Tropicana! And somewhat readily available…

 

[doublebooyah85]

I like the blue of the Paris. But you are right I can always satisfy it with a true house mold but I save those for the Dunes set.

I’ve always liked the Resorts World $100 (honestly their whole lineup, but that’s a different story), and I think the vibrant inlay might bring some good contrast from the darker green of the Nugget $25.
