Default How high can you go?

I'm curious -- how high can you stack chips? I would think Chipco's would go the highest. I plan on trying this when I get my suits chips.

Anyone with a bunch of chips and a digital camera?

Why didn't you challenge me when I actually HAD over 7,000 chipcos on my dining table? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ten

(nevermind, what a mess that would have been, with OTHER people's chips, [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Like everything--it depends. How level and stable your table is. The padding would have an effect also. Slickness of the chips can also be a factor. One player in our game does a single stack and it gets up to 50 or so.

Forget about the table! Stack on concrete for more stability! I just want to see how high it can go. Ten - yeah that would've be one hell of a stack! How many chips did you have when you got all those in? I still think Chipcos will go higher than any other.

I had 7,205 at one time. It was quite an accomplishment of my table to support all those chips. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] How many pounds is 7,205 times 10 grams each, plus 75 chip racks? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Chipcos would be the best to stack. When they are brand new, they have a slight grittiness that makes them not PERFECTLY flat, but after a small bit of use, they feel as flat as little ceramic discs. (Oh wait, that's what they are...)


Ten

7205x10grams + 75x150grams = 83300grams or 83.3kg
83.3kg x 2.2 = ~183lbs

Don't drop that box on you toe!

Wow! That must have been fun having all those chips. A pain to have to ship out, but still cool!

Default Similar question, different angle....

Never tried straight up one stack, but I'm wondering about at a casino, stacking however you want, how many chips have you had in front of you at one time? I was at Barona in SD a couple months ago and after 8 hours playing their ridiculously weak 4-8, had 1500 whites. I didn't ever color because it just kept getting funnier and funnier. I had a pyramid literally 100 high with a very wide base.

Are you waiting for your $1000 & 25¢ chips so you won't have to do it twice?

Do plaques & octagons count?
