The $100 looks like Bud Jones to me. Here's the $25 that's available on ebay now that does too. I'd guess RT Plastics for the higher denoms though. Looks like it was a cruise ship line out of Galveston that went out of business around 2001. The 1 and 5k chips are supposedly oversized 43mm.

I thought BJ at first too and RT, but I'm leaning towards B&G now. They remind me of the aussie millions chips.

I'm not familiar with the Aussie Millions chips, but check out this Charles Kaplan trade page tradtest where he lists a few of them and identifies them as RTP and BJ. Deputyfl might know more since he specializes in wet chips.

Yeah, the $5000 and the $1000 are 43mm. They feel kind of plastic but still sound anf feel good.
Thank you for the replays.

IMO they are RT Plastics....(Boat info at the bottom of post)
site Marbellas

I think they are:
$5000 RTP Marbellas
$5, $100, $500, and $1000 are RTP Dynastys
the $1 and $25 are RTP Crowns plus the hot stamp $ im showing is also RTP

I seem to be missing a $5 so I NEED ONE!!

The boat was out of Galveston TX. It sailed for about a month and closed in 2001. The boat moved to Florida and opened as the St Tropez in 2003. The St Tropez used the Talisman $25s as NCV chips. St Tropez closed in 2005. The boat was supposed to open again a year or so ago as Casino Royale but it never opened and the boat hasnt been seen since

RTP it is then! Our resident wet chip expert has spoken. Thanks for your input Von.

wow good find! I thought that 5000 looked too fancy to be an RTP.

something yall might want to do is "print screen" and save images of the differnt chips from this site. Since RT Plastics was bought out by USPC im not shur how long this site will be up. That way you can ID chips later. Im suprised i was still able to access it.

Von, as always, you absolutely rock. Thanks to you, I'm now able to identify the manufacturer of two chips I own: a Tinian and a Wild Rose casino. I heart you so very much.
