Icon.Interesting - that looks like a ceramic, almost like a no mold from Tina. Gross.
Who‘s the manufacturer - I don’t recognize the symbol (same place as where the Top Hat & Cane is on the house mold).
Re-postTwo can play this game…

Seriously… we’ll have to wait and see if patrons care at all. To some extent I actually think they will but to what degree these specific pooramics will hurt them will be a wait and seeI almost bought that small house mold cash set that casinochipper was selling about a month back from GN. My only hope now is that these horrible, plasticy garbage chips will put the casino out of business and I'll be able to pickup some Paulson's.
Are there any other major casinos that use them? They may feel OK and other casinos designs might look great but GNs look like total cheap garbage imoIcon.

What is Facebook?!
I’d agree but in LV with half a dozen alternatives a block away I’d think some measurable portion will care enough. Enough to put GN under? I doubt it but here’s to hoping!Unfortunately the vast majority of people in casinos or poker rooms don't give two licks about poker chips, they'd play with plastic interlocking plain blue, red and white chips if needs be, they just care about the gambool.
Linq, Cromwell, Planet Hollywood, Caesars Palace (though I only have the Linq and Cromwell chips in my posession). My guess is that in time, all Caesars-owned properties will use ICON. Big label, they don't wear down, and they resist "hooker-juice", which may be a concern in this post-COVID world.Are there any other major casinos that use them?

The new chip might not have been in play, but tetanus from that cup holder might be!!!
Ahhh I have Linqs… for whatever reason their print quality is crap but I’m guessing it’ll save them a few hundred thousand up front and more over the life of the chips.Linq, Cromwell, Planet Hollywood, Caesars Palace (though I only have the Linq and Cromwell chips in my posession).

EDIT: Downtown Grand also uses ICON.
I thought they used Paulsons at WSOP. Got this pic from a buddy playing yesterday. Hybrids?
