AC - Nastiest Chips (checks)
Are filthy chips (checks) standard operating procedure for casinos?

Re: AC - Nastiest Chips (checks)
You haven't seen nasty chips until you've played Commerce 6/12. All casinos have old, dirty chips, they all stick together, etc. But nothing is like Commerce's green chips. They are caked in black soot, so you can barely see the green color anymore. You can grab one chip and the 9 below it come along for the ride. Try and separate them, can't. Try to shuffle them, can't. Try to cut stacks of 5 or 10, can't. They are absolutely filthy.
Even if the Bike 6/12 were a worse game (it isn't), I would still play there over Commerce just so I didn't contract mad cow disease from touching their grimy composite nightmares.

Define nasty chips. The Borg has new clean ones, but those damn magnetic slugs annoy the hell out of me. [/ QUOTE ] I asked about this to multiple people, and they said no such magnetic slug, it is just that they are a plastic and you get a "suction" seal. Just what they said.

I concur, I thought they were particularly nasty at the Taj.

Re: AC - Nastiest Chips (checks)
I ran into what are probably the same crap BJ chips last fall in the Halifax casino. Only good thing I can say about them is that they encouraged more aggressive play, given that it was nigh on impossible not to get hitchhikers when you tried picking up a few.
This alone would probably keep me away from the Borg. Then again, to me, everything is secondary to the poker chip quality.

Re: AC - Nastiest Chips (checks)
Re Borgata Chips:
I have some at home as well and I think that they are definitely magnetic. I thought the comment about it being a suction seal type thing was interesting, but you'll find that even if you place one on top of the other somewhat off-center(so they the dimples aren't perfectly aligned) they still tend to grip. I also think that rubbing them together a bit increases the effect, but then again maybe I'm nuts.
