Ten, when can we confirm the specifications of the Paulson chip in regards to the inlay size, mold, edge spots, etc.? Are we custom ordering through dice702/apachepokerchips or are we going directly through Paulson? It seems as if with such a large sized order we might be able to go directly through Paulson. I wonder how much Paulson would charge tooling for a custom mold.

Like I mentioned in the main post, there is no distributor lined up, there is no order started, and there are no prices yet. That'll come later. it looks like we've chosen the theme, next step is filling out the set of seven chip designs. More to come on that.

Re: Paulson custom mold: If we don't get Paulson, it'll be because of restrictions. If we were to buy a mold, I would go with Matsui. Without the Hat and Cane, why bother? Yes, Paulson is top notch quality, but I'd pick Matsui quality over Paulson. You may disagree, but get Matsui clays in your hands and riffle them for a couple of days before you do.

Where can I find some matsui samples?

I'm curious as to why there is a 25 cent chip but no 50 cent chip. I use the 25 cent chip for small blinds when playing 0.50/1.00 at family get-togethers. They don't get a lot of use and won't get real dirty, so white is good.

A .50 chip doesn't make sense to me. You can't play 25¢ ante cash games with it. It seems to me that a 2-to-1 denomination stepup is not efficiant. A 4x or 5x multiple is standard. I see a lot of 50¢ chips out there, but I just dont get it. (the $500 to $1000 is an exception, I know)

If paulson cant change the colors I think we should switch companies from paulson to pc.com or matsui. The egyptian theme just doesnt go well with the bright stock colors of the paulson chips in my mind.

I agee with changing if necessary. But about the chip colors not matching the Egyptian theme....

I think someone else mentioned that earlier. To me, the theme isn't really Egyptian per-se. It's a fantasy casino chip, so the theme is "traditional casino gaming chip." That casino happens to have an Egyptian theme. Just like Dunes is a desert theme, and Alladin is an Arabian theme, or Caesar's Palace is a Roman theme, etc.

There ain't much difference between these two chips, even though the theme of the casino is totally different:

Ya I know that I just think the paulson stock chips are just way too bright for this look. I think it would also be insane if we could get our own mold.

TR King is not and option because of chips size, despite their good quality.

Ten, I'm confused by this statement - do you mean they are not an option because the chips are 0.5 mm smaller than the "standard" chip size (because that's what Paulsons are)? But ASM is an option even though they are 0.5 mm larger than the Paulsons? (see here). I'm just not following the logic, because T.R. King is the only place where you are going to be able to get any variability in edge spot design (aside perhaps from Matsui, which I know nothing about). Or perhaps I completely misunderstood what you meant...?

By the way, I also wanted to mention I think Pharoah's is an awesome name for a fantasy casino/club - wouldn't even consider changing it.

Edit: My code isn't working for some reason. What gives?

I realize you are going for Classic style of chips, and haven't read every post in the thread...Just wondering if Bud Jones is an option? Just not the look you're after? Will they deal with public at all?

peace.

My ultimate set would be a fantasy set of old las vegas casinos, when Seigel built The Flamigo. However, I'm sure the Hilton (tm) people would have a thing or two to say about it.
