That's true.

I was going to ask if they were ASM for the same reason.

Those are actually chips from a company called "WICO GAMING SUPPLY" that was based in Las Vegas. I believe they are out of business now.

I'm 90% sure they're RT Plastics. I can see why you'd think "WICO" though. They look very very close to a chip made by Langworthy in the early 90's. Langworthy was bought by WICO in the mid 90's. It's very close to the RT Plastics, but not the same design.

I think that RT, Langworthy, and WICO are all intertwined with Gambler's General Store so any/all of us could be right depending on the age of these particular chips.

Sorry, can't tell much. Last time I was there, I was not a poker player, nor did I have any knowledge of chips. All I can tell for now is that it is a casino operated by Indians and it does sit on top of a hill/mountain on Friant Rd outside of Fresno, Ca. I could ask some questions when I am down there in Aug.

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of auctions from dfleming on these sets and individual stacks. I'd like to have some, except the denominations aren't good for me.

I'm also 95%+ sure that these are RTP, though they are definitely based on an old Wico "crowns" design. RTP must have purchased that design, or maybe just started using it after Wico went out of business.

On Chipguide, it says these "prototype" chips are RTP. Now, Chipguide certainly can be wrong, but not very often. http://www.chipguide.com/cgi-bin/sea....cgi?id=cafrtm (near the bottom of the page).

And RTP's casino chip site shows samples of chips that look somwhat the same. Especially the combination of the crown edge spots on the white and red, and the RTP edge spots on the $25 chip. http://www.rtplastics.com/crown.html (hover over the product codes to see a sample).
