. | They don't have a snapper. The $1 was replaced and the $10 and $20 may be replaced soon (as of yesterday they were not, but no word on whether they are in storage, or even delivered). They started their big WPT tournament a day or so ago so I would have thought it might have been changed over then. The $10 and $20 were one the approval list with the $1. But approval does not mean manufacture or release.
EDIT -- looks like the $5 started appearing on 04/23. A dealer in the poker room says that the older issue $1 are gone from the poker room now. Brian supplied the picture of the $5 at new release BELLAGIO $5 new release

When the Bellagio brakes out a new rack...what is the process?? The reason I'm asking is because this past weekend, my mother went to Las Vegas, and I asked her to pick me up some Bellagio chips. She got me some chips, but they're the old ones. How do people already have the new ones, if the old ones are still in the casino?
Thanks for your time and info

Chances are, that (I'm assuming here) because your mother is not a chip collector, she didn't know how to go about collecting the new chips. Just a guess. |

Just to follow up on the Bellagio chip question....when I picked up the chips tonight, they were the new ones. Sorry for the confusion.

Wow... I wonder if they were having security issues? Maybe fake chips showing up?
They just don't measure up to the existing chips at all do they?
Too bad, the first rack imo was the standard against which all other chips are measured. Minus the bleeding issue.

Probably just time to change chips. They have changed their tourney chips a few times so they probably just decided they need a fresh house rack. |

I think the redbird looks good 
I don't think the inlays look good, but they might grow on me. As for the colors of the $5 I think it's fine.
