Someone get me 200+ of the new Binions $1 Chips

[warewulf619]

I'll pay a $40 handling fee if someone will get these for me.

[pocket snowmen]

i cant get them for you, but out of curiosity why do you want them and can i see a pic of them

[warewulf619]

I want them because I was looking for blue Paulsons and don't want to pay more than $1 for them. These came out about a week ago, should be near brand new.

Nice

good idea

That's a really classy-looking chip for the new "non-Horseshoe" Binion's. Famous Vegas name, classic design with a little flair, perfect size inlay with wider H&C rim, just a great job. (I'm not a fan of the triangle edge spots, but that's a nit.)

Out this week and already lots of them on eBay. I'd think the old chips would be worth more now that they are obsolete, but go figure.

If you're looking for a blue chip for a buck, you might look at Bellagio, too. One of the best looking chips, IMO, with 4 edge spots. Though it's the larger inlay. Looks even better in person than this picture:

Other blue Paulson Vegas chips you might consider:
http://www.silver-state-treasures.com/l ... mirage.htm (2nd chip down)
http://www.silver-state-treasures.com/l ... esisle.htm (4th chip)
http://www.silver-state-treasures.com/l ... mgrand.htm (2nd chip)
http://www.silver-state-treasures.com/l ... arrahs.htm (I think 4th one is current)

Yeah, I like those other chips, but want to get one with the TH&C mold. I already have .25 cent hotstamp chips + have $5 chips with TH&C mold. If they're not going to match, I'd like to at least match the mold.

[tomb1]

Oh yeah... I knew those were all Paulson's but it didn't compute that they were all house molds and not H&C.

As I said, that new Binion's chip is a terrific blue H&C $1. Hope you can get some.

[warewulf619]

Yeah, no luck so far. I'm going to vegas within a month or so.

I do like that MGM chip, one of my favorites. Might consider those too. Just leaning towards the TH&C mold.

I also like those MS (?) white $1 chips you posted in another thread somewhere. The ones with the 3 different color spots. If I could find something like that in blue...

[tomb1]

Here's that chip from Grand Casino in Gulfport MS. It's the closest poker room to me so I play there a lot. http://www.chipguide.com/cgi-bin/search ... ?id=msgugc

This is probably he nicest "classic" Paulson $1 chip I've seen. It's the older style, wider rim and bigger H&C, great cross-hatched texture, nice inlay, unusual edgespots for a buck chip. But it's white.... You're right, if we could find a blue chip like this, it would be perfect.

Of course the racks of chips in the poker room aren't all in that mint condition (wow, they can get pretty grungy), but they actually clean up real well once you take em home. The quality lasts a long time even with heavy play.

[warewulf619]

Yup, those are the ones! Definitely odd that they would put 3 stripes on a $1 chip!


One more reason I will probably get the Binions chips -- since they are brand new and I got to vegas a few times a year, I could take them every time I go and trade them in if I find something better. If they dont change the chips out for a while, I will get to 'borrow' them longer.

I kind of like the triangle edge spot.

myself i am waiting for the Wynn chips to come out. my guess is that they will be blue and hopefully will look good! if so im buying 200 of them. my hope is that they will be paulson, but if they are bud jones i wouldnt mind.

if u notice the other casinos that Wynn built, they all have blue chips (Bellagio, TI, Mirage) so im pretty sure that they will be blue too. and they have the micro chip in them, so if i actually wanted to i could get a scanner for my home game

[tomb1]

Can't wait to see the Wynn chips. Who's gonna get a pic of them on this board first?

And will he have different chips in the poker room vs. the black jack tables? Oh, the suspense.....!

[warewulf619]

Where's the Wynn casino going to be?

Let me know if you find a good price on a scanner!

Wynn is across from the Venetian. I'll be there opening weekend. I'll probably pick up a couple racks of chips.
