Norm B | Done, and done. Welcome to the wish list; wishes very often come true here.
By the way, I'm not sure which CIC chips you already have, but I have a $1 Stardust that's looking for a good home; interested? I'd send it gratis, as a small gesture of repayment for the chips I've received in kind from Gaming Ore, Strange, and many others here. Just let me know, and it's yours.

While I'm thinking of it: Jim, is it possible to make this thread sticky? I don't know what the general procedure for doing so (or even requesting it) would be, but I'm thinking it might be a good idea for ease of future reference amongst all and sundry. If I'm off base, apologies.
(Ask and ye shall receive! It is done, and good idea! GO)

-jamby | There are a few collectors who are big-time into the Chinese New Year chips. My personal 3 favorite sets of those come from
- Great Canadian Casino (Vancouver, British Columbia)
- Hollywood Park (California)
- Hustler (California)
The GCC set is now complete. They've went entirely through the cycle of years, putting out some great chips -- the scans come from Mike's Canada site http://www.lcssinc.com/bigmike/GCCComm.html |

Wedge: that's cruel and unusual punishment!
Jim: Thanks for making this* sticky. I forgot to change my username in the original post, so that was a good reminder too.

A Rose Roulette (row 4, chip 1) 
$2 each plus $1 for shipping (25c for each other chip shipped, if you see anything else you like... there's four pages of roulette scans...)
Main page: http://www.thechipboard.com/cgi-bin/...pl?read=562822
Scan 3 (with the rose): http://www.thechipboard.com/cgi-bin/...pl?read=562825
I'm not sure if I am helping you out (scouting for rose chips) or doing you a dis-service vis-a-vis your bank account.

heh...seriously, thanks Wedge. I just made a fool of myself over there with forgetting how to properly post at thechipboard, but hopefully she'll overlook that and sell me that sweet roulette.
(Now I just have to figure out why I still can't access email from that account).
Jim (or anyone who knows), while I'm here: I've always been curious about roulette. Two questions: 1, is it normal for there to be so much purple? And 2, why are there numbered chips instead of denoms? I guess I don't understand roulette in general, maybe I should go look it up somewhere. |

Roulette typically uses non-denominational chips. This is because the casino can have multiple levels of play players at one table. More often than not, a table will have each roulette chip equal a dollar. But the house will allow a higher roller to have each chip equal $5, and another player $25 and others $100.
To keep things straight, the dealer will mark each color as to what its value is by stacking the correct value of real chip(s) on top of one roulette chip and then place that stack onto the rim of the roulette wheel.
To keep the players from getting mixed up, the casino will use chips that appear in 7 different colors. The inlay will show the same number, or letter, or logo in all 7 colors and this denotes the table, i.e., the A table, or Table number 1, etc. Some casinos will repeatedly use the same table for a specific limit of betting.
By now you might be wondering what keeps a player from buying in for a stack of chips valued at $1, pocketing some of them, walking away and returning later and buying in for chips valued at $100 and requesting the same color and then bringing in the one you took at $1 for use at $100!
This is why some casinos do not like for roulettes to be harvested!
