"His gaming company, Twin River Worldwide Holdings, now plans to use the name to rebrand all of its holdings, including its 11 casinos and its publicly traded headquarters"

Wait, wouldn't that mean we might see Bally's chips being sold... I know the one in vegas isn't getting a name change because it's owned/ (was owned, I'm not sure exactly) by Caesars. But the other locations I'm assuming are being changed to Twin Rivers right? So those Bally's chips need to go

 

[boltonguy]

I think they're re-branding everything Bally's per the article.

 

[Pinkdan]

Oh I see, I had it backwards

Well that sucks for us, Bally's chips are way cooler! Darn

From the article;
In addition to the 1,251-room Bally’s Atlantic City, Twin River also scooped up Eldorado’s namesake property in Shreveport, La., and its Montbleu in Lake Tahoe, Nev., for $155 million. Last week it picked up Jumer’s Casino & Hotel in Rock Island, Ill., for $120 million, which will be part of the Bally’s rebranding.

So 3 more potential rebrandings

Montblue (Lake Tahoe, NV)

I've played there a bunch - I like the colors, hate the giant inlays.

I've never seen those secondary $5s in play.

 

[wolfpack]

Thanks so much for doing this !

Anyone have any idea which we might or might not see on the secondary market if they redo the chips?

 

[boltonguy]

yeah those are sweet!

 

[Lovejoyz]

Ballys has been getting out of gaming for years now. They used to have a bunch of casino blackjack pit software that was top of the line. They've managed to keep support on the back-end, but I'd expect that to change soon also. They're all but out of gaming.

 

[davislane]

could be some minty chips coming with two recently acquired casinos thats just rebranded this year plus the chips that were from the casino that was rebranded. Sounds like a double dip.

Dover Downs!

 

[Stufflymcstuff]

New Dover chips post Bally’s takeover

 

[davislane]

they know how to stop harvesters..... oversized inlays.

I'm surprised by the amount of value placed on the Bally's name and wanting to make this THE brand.

All Bally's represents to me is a mid to low tier Vegas Casino.

Does anybody here have a tremendously favorable impression of the Bally's name?

Honest to god, I still think pinball machines when I hear it.
I live close enough to Twin River (Bally’s?) in RI, but I rarely played there because their small (12 table?) room had long waits and no tournaments. But there are rumors that they’re expanding their poker room. I hope it happens and I come to associate Bally’s with poker.
