Who makes this kind of ceramic? (1 Viewer)

[AcesUp907]

I noticed that some ceramics have a textured feel to them. I first noticed this at the Linq in Vegas. Anyone know what exactly it’s called or who makes them?

BRPro Poker uses a similar textured ceramic on their Nevada Jack skulls and Desert Sands chips.

Great question and great picture. When you zoom in, it looks like a linen finish. I’m not an expert, but the only ceramics I know with that finish are Chipcos. But Chipcos almost always have a white rim around the edge.
So because of that, and the lack of the little Chico watermark, I’d guess they’re not Chipcos. And I’d like to know what they are.

I cant quite tell if the finish is pressed on or tell how its made. I will say that it feels much better than a smooth ceramic.

Is that a Tina chip? It doesnt look nearly as clean.

Got a set coming and will take better pics, but believe it's textured specifically to be less slippery.

The new Chipco (formerly GOCC) offers textured blanks (and sells to casinos).

Nevada casinos are required to have a manufacturer mark on cash checks. Do you have a pic of any cash chips from the Linq?

I don’t, that was a few years ago. But if I remember correctly they looked very similar
