I think it's the Chinese gambling capital...

I think I have one somewhere. I do know they're heavily into jetons there.

a quick search on ebay: http://collectibles.search.ebay.com/...Z1QQsofocusZbs

And if I'm not mistaken, it's not only the gaming capitol in China, it's the only place in china where casinos are legal.

I understand that all the new casinos in Macau purchase chips from GPI Europe (after their long relationship with B&G, GPI's French subsidiary). What I've seen have been all B&G jetons/plaques plus a variety of B&G/BJ plastic composite chips. I guess I need to go and see them all for myself!

Rob, I might have one or two available for trade. I'll take a look later on (after work). What are you looking to possibly trade off in return?

I've got quite a few from there, and a bunch I have not scanned yet. Here are a couple for your viewing pleasure... Notice there are two different currencies (Hong Kong Dollar represented by $ and Pataka's represented by P) so a lot of houses have multiple chips per currency.

What...no big orders from Mr ( clay ) Paulson?? Although a couple of those are similar to Bud Jones. Thanks for that guys

The Sands chips logo is the same as the Sands in Reno, I guess it's the same hotel chain?

I have two jetons, no chips. If you hang around eBay long enough, you may see some vintage chips made by TR King on the small crown mold.

This seller always has chips:

It's also the gambling capital of the world, having surpassed Vegas in total gambling revenue in 2006.

These aren't for sale or trade, but it gives you an idea of what is available. HobbyMan (Frank L.) goes there often and sells chips and jetons in his eBay store at reasonable prices.....

Isn't Wynn/Playboy opening a casino there soon? Wonder if they will use Paulsons?
