What are these? (1 Viewer)

Was watching Mariano on YT and saw these $500s from Morongo casino. Are they the GPI elite chips or whatever they’re called? Pretty cool looking, I think? Maybe? Hard to tell!

Paulson chips with "decor ring". New ish offering from a couple of years back. You can find examples if you search the forum.

Here's the only one i own

Barely noticable hat and cane in there.

I believe these were called the "premium" decor ring:

Looking at the 2022 catalog though, it doesn't appear that Paulson offers this as an option anymore:

I was watching that video yesterday as well, thought he was going to walk out with a good haul, but left with like $5 lol

The $1k chip is actually pretty insane, I got one last time I was there.

Yeah I agree I saw one 3 years ago and was stunning

I've got 1 too. Had the option to pick up a mint rack @ face value but didn't. I make poor decisions sometimes...

Yep, these are very cool chips.

In my experience, the decor ring chips look cool but are super light and don't seem like they'd play very well.

 

[mipevi]

Super light? Still heavier than most CPC chips.

Now they use printed jeton imitation inlay RHC, jeton rings are beat up

I'm not sure about play characteristics, but I would expect them to be lighter as they are replacing clay with a thin plastic ring.

Most CPC are in the 8.5g range with the weighted colours. I think 0.5g less if you use DayGlo bases.

Very light, very small sample size. Even the 2 chips I have vary consistently by a lot.

Aren't black chips traditionally heavier on the Paulson scale of colour weights?

 

[mipevi]

Ok, so as light as CPC mostly using their lighter colors? Sure.
