I hope that this is not the case. One of the negatives against BC has always been the weight of their chips (or lack thereof). Eli says that the new Samarui chips from BC are much heavier so we'll have to wait and see. Quote: |

Thanks,

The Desert Palms came out fantastic, but are again typical BC weight.
Im just being a bit cautious here, but Id hesitate to think that BC will incorporate the heavier Samurai weight into every BC that gets made from here on out. Sure would increase thier rep around here if they did though!
Maybe with the .10 increase, they will add a little more heft to them.

Not use white at all? | Your jedi mind powers won't work on me old man! The reverse is also true. Use blue for $1 and white could be just fine as NCV. I think white could work OK as a 25 cent chip or possibly even 1000 or 5000 as well. But NCV would probably be best. I only mentioned pink since it is commonly known as a $2.50 chip and as an NCV it could be used for that or several other "off" denoms that the cash gamers like. |

Not use white at all? | why couldn't white = ncv? it looks great as a 1k chip in shiv's king crown set, and also works as a .25 chip. and if people insist, they can use it as the 1.
and really, aren't there enough sets with white 1s out there for people who aren't willing to flex on the issue? |
