Bicycle Clay Poker Chips
Bicycle Clay Poker Chips
Opening comment
I take exception to the statement that the weighted ABS plastic poker chips "approach casino chips in in look, feel, sound, and texture." Other wise I think this is a great summary of the current poker chip market. - TenPercenter
External Links
What's wrong with a link to the largest poker chip discussion board? (ChipTalk.net) That'd be the best link I can think of for an entry called "poker chips."
There's been some back and forth on the External links section. The issue appears to be whether the links to the chip makers ought to be included. Since these links are for makers, not resellers, I think it puts it into a grey area. There's definitely some interesting reading in the links, but they are without question commercial. I'd find it useful if the editors who insert/remove the links make their case in the Talk page.--Toms2866 21:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Colors
I think that listing 1 dollar chips as usually white in casinos is false, I think that it's a 50/50 split in that casinos also used blue quite often (Treasure Island in Las Vegas for sure) as a one dollar chip. Anyone have any further info on casino chips? Mike

Spamming
You're right, I added my URL to several entries at once, but they were all poker related. To be honest, I didn't think they were actually being changed on the internet, just in my browser cache. I was amazed when members at the chiptalk.net forum were telling me that they could see the changes.
It's my fault for not knowing how wikipedia works (I learned a great deal as soon as I discovered it that night). It's amazing and I apologize for what was considered spamming.
I stand by the edit for "poker chips" external link though. ChipTalk.net is the "home" for poker chip fanatics, it should be listed. I'll let you decide that (whoever "you" are, I don't even know who I'm talking to here. :) )
Chip colors
I made a few bold edits in the colors section, and some others that I expect to be uncontroversial. I'm going from memory, but here goes....:
- Blue is by my observation substantially more common than white for $1 in LV and CA. Granted, everywhere else almost always has white, but LV and CA are the preponderance of the casinos in the country! So I consider either standard for $1.
- Yellows are standardized by law at $20 in AC. I've read that at least twice -- any challenges to substantiate will be answered, in other words, I'll look harder for written evidence.
- I've observed yellows for $2 first hand at C del S and also seen photos on the web. I believe there was something about yellows being rare, but in fact they're not rare -- just not very unstandardized!
- Yellows are also $5 in most of CA; I should probably add that.
- Blue $10s are relatively rare, but not exceptionally rare. They apparently play all the time in the Borgata $40/80, and the cage had no problem selling me a stack (even though I was buying them for novelty value; I don't play that high!). This is another AC color fixed by law. "Exceptionally rare" means to me either, you can't find them playing regularly anywhere, or if you can it's somewhere out of the way. The Borg is one of the prominent casinos on the East Coast, and $10 blues are elsewhere in AC, hence not exceptionally rare.
- Grey -> gray: United States locations, US spellings.
- $1000: Orange is standard in AC (again, I believe, by law) and used at Foxwoods. See http://www.callzia.com/dghome/acchips/home.htm for extensive AC examples including $1000 pics. I believe orange is at least as established as yellow.
Please let me know if you believe any of this to be in error; I want to be bold but not reckless. Cheers, PhilipR 05:20, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Materials
I don't think the article is accurate or complete as it ought to be with regard to the materials used in poker chips. For example, Chipco markets their 100% ceramic chips as the premier line (and also market less expensive ceramic composite). Kardwell markets 100% clay, clay composite and plastic chips. Gaming Partners (Paulson/Bud Jones) makes "clay" (Paulson) and plastic chips (Bud Jones). Security features such as edge designs, UV pigments, laser lock, alpha dot, and embedded microchips should also be described in more detail.--Toms2866 19:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
