Just picked up some of these on Ebay today and have been unable to find out much about them other than who they're made by and that they are oversized.

Does anybody have any info on these chips?

Thanks,
jamby

Are you referring to the paulson fantasy casino chips for the home market a long time ago?

[jamby]

Perhaps. Here's a pic.

Here's what I found after a quick google.

"The Winner Club chips were made for a junket operator running junkets to The North Korean Free Trade Zone, casinos. The chips were never picked up."

Thanks DDD424, I found that too. We must google alike. Lots of dead links among the hits though, including one to this very site. I'm still looking for more information though. There's a thread here about using them as bounty chips, which is a cool idea. I like the looks of them.

Found that oldvegaschips.com is selling The Winner Club chips for $5 each as card guards on their site. Crazy, inflated price. They have a good photo though showing size comparison to a normal sized chip. Here it is. This is one big chip.

How much did you get these for? I'm thinking of picking up the ones on ebay right now .

Was that you bidding against me for the set of 300? Prices on these seem to vary pretty greatly. I bought the first batch of 23 mixed denom for a little over $2 each. I picked up my 2nd set of 20 all solid blue 10k chips for less than $1 each. This last set of 300 1k chips with case is going to run me about $250 including shipping.

That was me... For a while at least!

That is just too funny. We really should get together here regarding auctions. But, would that kind of collusion be fair to the sellers? It does give pause for thought...
