Bellagio replicas by Sun-Fly
Manufacturer: Sun-Fly
Retailer(s): Palm Imports
Average Price: .275ea (non-aligned edges), .44ea (aligned edges)
Material: Ceramic


Pros

• Cost $.28 per chip plus shipping is hard to beat
• Sound - they have a great ceramic "Clack" when they are shuffled
• Looks - The chip design and colors really "Pop" (especially with the high denoms & ND chips) - My favorite is the $1k chip
• Denominations - The set is done in denominations ranging from $25 to $100k making these one of (if not THE) most affordable sets to hold a T1,000,000 tourney (Or higher since there will be 250k, 500k, & 1mil plaques available soon)

Cons

• Bleeders - There were color bleeding issues on some of the chips - the worst of the group were the $100 chips. There were slight bleeding issues with the $100k chips but those were minor.
• Overall Quality control - the QC for the chips overall was lacking. There were chips that arrived chipped in the shrink wrapped stacks from the manufacturer. Palm Imports was great in correcting the issues. These types of QC issues do not surprise me with a production run of over 700k chips out of China
• It took a long time from start to finish for the group buy. There were a lot of reasons behind the time it took to get the chips, but the overall time was fairly long. The good news is the chips have been here for awhile and they are awesome.

Overall the Bellagio tributes are an awesome chip set and exceeded my expectations - especially for the price
