This collection has been a labor of love, gathered over several years through various Chiproom sales and the generous help of friends in the hobby.

I’ve always enjoyed visiting different casinos — taking in the architecture, the atmosphere, the way each one operates, the dealers, and of course, the chips. When I first got into chip collecting, I knew I wanted to explore a wide variety of chips from many different casinos. With a little help (and encouragement!) from my wife, the idea was born to build a set where each player at the table would "represent" a different casino.

The breakdown was simple and fun:
Each player would start with a $1,000 stack made up of:
  • 10 x $5 chips
  • 10 x $25 chips
  • 7 x $100 chips
    —all from a single casino set. So, for example, one player might represent Horseshoe, another Jacks, and so on.

The set saw the felt about 4–6 times before it was retired. Why? I fell hard for PNY. I eventually went all-in with a full NYC theme—PNY chips, topper, dealer button, cards—you name it. Ever since then, this mixed set has been stored safely in the closet, waiting for another shot at the table. I’ve held onto it for a while thinking I might bring it back into rotation, but every time I plan a game, the PNY love wins out.

So now it’s time to pass this set on to someone who will enjoy it.
Here’s the full breakdown:

Main Set - 300 Chips (30 chips for each casino x10 - $5, x10 - $25, x10 - $100)
Lady Luck, Isle of Capri, Jack Det, Jack Cin, Horseshoe SI, Isle CG, Ark Queen, Tonkawa, Horseshose Cin

Color up Chips - 14 Chips
$500's - Jack Det, Jack Cin, Horseshoe Cin, Horseshoe SI, Ark Queen, Roadhouse
$1K - Indiana Grand x5

Rebuy sets - 60 Chips (30 chips for each casino x10 - $5, x10 - $25, x10 - $100)
Horseshoe Cin and Roadhouse

All the main set and color up chips still are sharp (except $500 Roadhouse casino used). The rebuy sets are casino used.
*I did mix up the Jacks a bit to make full sets. I did mix them up in the picture a bit by accident. I only had x10 Jack Det so they were supplemented with x10 Jack Cin*

374 chips shown. Ill throw in a bonus chip to make it 375 chips total.

@greenchip congratulations on the win! Sad to see the set go but excited for someone else to enjoy it!
Yes I have some chips I wanted! I appreciate the fun auction!

Everyone who are like oh I want this barrel, we can talk about it.

OR

If anyone is like oh I want one chip each of Tonkawa or HS Cinci, we can talk about it. Rather want to sell what I am not keeping here!
