Re: New nasty plastic chips (Borgata, et al) WHY?
Umm...no. They are, in fact, magnetic.
Put one next to another casino's magnetic chip, and you will certainly notice magnetic attraction / repulsion when you fiddle around with them. |

Re: New nasty plastic chips (Borgata, et al) WHY?
I've seen more of these new chips broken or missing their labels (revealing the inner sluggo) than I've ever seen of clay.
But then, I guess it is pretty easy to calculate the expectation of moving to these cheaper chips over time... |

There is something in the middle of these chips. Bud Jones also makes a "speed chip" that does not have this insert and is lighter. They are MUCH better to play with - and shuffle. Canterbury in Minnesota uses these.

Re: New nasty plastic chips (Borgata, et al) WHY?
It's more the sticking together that gets me than the no-shuffling. You go to make a bet and you end up with extra chips stuck on the stack. VERY annoying.
I don't think they are actually magentic. I think it is either vacuum suction of static electricity. Either way it is a major pain in the a$$. |

They are the same brand and chip.

[/ QUOTE ] I had a stack of cheap "dice" chips with a metal insert on me desk that I would fiddle with a lot. Since they weren't very flat, I could spin part of the stack on top of the other, and found myself doing this a lot. Anyway, after some time a bunch of them became magnetized. I would guess that the Borg chips aren't magnetic on purpose, but that the metal inserts do actually pick it up over time. I have a small rare earth magnet at home, so I purposefully magnetized a couple of them pretty well and could actually "levitate" one chip above the other. |
