"NEW Vineyard Casino"

[trogdoraoeu]

Looks like PaulsonChips has finally got his site up (http://www.acepokerchipcompany.com/). So PaulsonChips, what's the story with the "NEW Vineyard Casino" chips? Pics?

[TGuns]

Indeed. I was looking at the site today and it's very promising. FREE SHIPPING on all orders? Wow. I really want to see more info on the "New" Vineyard chips and the Rounders replica chips (hopefully not the "Rounders Casino" chips that are already out.)

PaulsonChips, fill us in if you can?

[trogdoraoeu]

Check the site again. The 'Coming Soon' image for the Rounders chip has magically been replaced with an image of the $500 chip. Hmm, it has crowns around the edges. I'm guessing the "NEW Vineyards" will as well.

I wouldn't recommend getting those Rounders chips for the kids -- oh wait, that's just part of the first 'n' in 'Coming Soon, nevermind.

[TGuns]

Yeah, just checked it and saw the updated image. He must be literally updating the site as we are posting. So far, it's looking very good! Maybe we can see more pics and maybe pricing before the end of the day.

Looks like he has the standard "...manufactured by the top companies that supply chips for the Las Vegas Casinos" verbage, sans the "* applies to 1 out of 16 chips seen on the page" I do like the colors of his tr kings so far. Looking forward as well to seeing the rest of them.

The Rounders chips are a replica of the chips from the movie Rounders, and they are part of a group buy going on at the 2+2 forums right now. I think PaulsonChips is in charge of coordinating the whole deal with Dennis.

These are not made by Paulson, rather by TRKing (my favorite chip company), which explains the crowns in the mold.

There is a link to the Rounders group buy

Ah, those look pretty decent.

...which explains the crowns in the mold

duh:)

I can't believe he secured the rights to the "Rounders" design. I really can't believe that ASM never did anything with this. Can you imagine how many sets they'd sell of "authentic Rouncers" chips?

BTW if he makes chips that look like the ones in the banner up top of the home page, that'd be pretty cool.

[PanthersHUTCH15]

I think the only roadblock they ran into was that PokerChips.com (the makers of the chips for the movie) would not re-create the chips and said they never have or will. But, they did send the colors they used, and they then took that to Dennis at TRKing along with the design and he said okay.

I agree that a lot of money would have been made if they would have re-created these earlier. Also, it would be very smart of someone to do an authentic re-creation of the World Series Chips because those would sell like crazy!

[trogdoraoeu]

Is it just me, or does that Rounders bear look a little too excited?

[gpc]

Its not you, Its coming soon

[trogdoraoeu]

...or maybe did already

[PocketRocket]

Yeah, did you check out the prices. It's not a small wonder that the cost of shipping would be included, it looks like it has been built into the pricing several times already.

Indeed. [snip] it's very promising. FREE SHIPPING on all orders? [snip]

Hi everyone, The Rounders Teddy KGB Chips will be by TRKING. (should be out end of April)

However, the NEW Vineyard chips, that remains a secret. (Mid April) But I know you guys will like the new stuff.

I am also working on 3 other lines of chips that are of casino quality, so stay tuned.

I tried not to have so many "cheap" chips on my site, but there were requests for them. The cheap chips I am selling are the ones I feel are the better out of the bunch. BUT I STILL SAY STAY AWAY FROM THEM. But again, not everyone is ready to plop $1+ per chip.

As for the FREE shipping, the shipping is included in the price, but I think my pricing should still be competitive. (Copags at 15.99 shipped. not up yet KEMS on its way.)

I was not going to make the site live until the end of the month, but I get too many emails a day and it was driving me nuts, so I said the hell with it and put it up.

This thread has become a giant can of SPAM. To all the MODS, I am sorry and I didn't start this! I was going to ignore it and not participate but I couldn't resist.

he did not "secure" the rights to these chips. it wasnt even his idea. go to the other forum and read all about the group buy. he is just facilitating the group buy because he lives in L.A. and keeps in close contact with Dennis from TR King.

my guess is that PaulsonChips is going to make his own mold, the suits mold and produce them out of the TRKing warehouse. remember a while back when he had that Design-A-Mold contest. well now its coming to fruition. (btw i wonder who won that and if they will be getting their free 500 chip set)

edit:i just noticed this off the website...
Our high end chips come off the very same machines and presses as the Palms, Paris, Bally's, Bellagio, Monte Carlo, Luxor and Mandalay Bay Casinos just to name a few
Well then heres hoping that they are paulsons!
