| | | Foxwoods & MGM Grand at Foxwoods, Ledyard, CT - various releases
It seems that the Tribal operated Foxwoods Casino has entered into some agreement with MGM/Mirage to have a separate gaming facility (building) adjacent to the Foxwoods casino that will be managed by MGM/Mirage and called the "MGM Grand at Foxwoods".
The MGM facility is now up and running and is connected to the Faoxwoods casino by a covered walkway. It is unclear to me if there are restrictions on what chips can be used at which location, but both locations are releasing new rack chips.
Here are scans of the currently available new chips. I will add images of other to-be-relaesed chips in this OP when they are available.

Wow, thanks for the notice, Jim! I've been on the look-out for a $2 on a house mold that will go nicely with my set. And of course, the Foxwoods $1 is gorgeous!

After an AMAZING $1, the $5 is kind of a let down. The gold $2 could be pretty fantastic though.. |

Thanks for the update Jim. I had seen the $1 but the $5 and $2 are new to me.
The $1 and $2 are very nice. I find the inlay inetersting on the $5 and $2 - the colored circle around the outer portion of the inlay artwork is cool. Is that visible without the scan or is it brought out because of the scan?

The $1 is by far the best. I was hoping to see clean monochrome inlays on all chips, guess that would have helped a lot for the $5 as the clay parts of that chip are fine. |

Those are amazing! I love LOVE the WPT inlay on the $2 chip! Hmmm...an all $2 chip 2/4 game!

Looks like a gradiant inlay on those non $1 chips. I gotta agree, the $5 is really a let down, especially compared to the amazing $1.

I like that $2 chip. Unfortunately it isn't out yet, still had the old yellows at the Pokerroom yesterday. I did get a bunch of $1 chips which are out!
