If you always wanted real casino chips for your home game, you have to check
this out. Crystal Park Casino in Los Angeles was open for a few months and
was shut down by the state. Some of you might know the background to the
closing of this casino. Well their entire supply of chips are being sold
through One Eyed Jacks Gaming in Kalamazoo, MI. provided that there is
enough demand.
I also bought a folding hold'em table from this company that kicks ass, you
can check out their site for tables.
Anyway I spoke to the owner and he told me he put these chips on his site to
test for demand. If he decides to go ahead, he will be taking posession of
several hundred thousand chips at a very large expense ($60,000+) both in
acquisition and in shipping (those babies are heavy).
Most of the chips are uncirculated or slightly used.
My motivation in posting this is that I want to buy a thousand or so of
these chips. So I'm trying to generate a little interest/demand so that One
Eyed Jacks will go ahead and make this purchase and sell these chips.
There is a picture of the chips at

I think they look great and they'll be selling them for around $.50 to $.60
a chip, which is an excellent price for Top Hat & Cane 10gram clay chips.
The other thing is that there are several denominations that are very hard
to find, like $3 for 3/6 hold'em.
Anyway check this out, it seems like a nice opportunity.
