I was wondering what people thought about possibly doing a NCV chip for the President Casino New Yorker chips. We obviously couldn't do it through Paulson, but could probably do it through BC. First inclination would be either to use Central park or Times Square on a blue chip with a super sized inlay like PNYs. Not sure about what mold to use. Not sure about edge stripes either. Of course, these wouldn't have metal flakes in the chip but neither do the $1s and $5s. I think a NCV chip adds flexability given the high price range for $2.50, $20, $500, and $1000 chips.

An example of my thoughts:


Is there interest in this sort of thing? Other ideas?

PS: Yes, I'd have to get permission from the photographer of the picture to be used. The ones above were found doing a image search on Google.

How about making a NCV on a matsui plaque?

The NVC will be tricky, because it won't be the same quality as the PNYs. That is unless Paulson does it. And I think we know the answer there.

That is the reason I went to big denoms with the plaques. I was still able to find a casino quality production house to make them. I have mixed feelings about the $1000.00 too.

The plaques make the big(ger) games possible while maintaining the class. I would consider a Matsui for a non-denom because it will not try to mimic the Paulson. It will stand out appart from the Paulson, while still looking elegant. Or get some Paulson Starbursts.

But to answer your Q, a NCV would be sweet!

Thought of that too, but I didn't think it would be right to have the smallest denom, be on one of the biggest physical unit.

Throwing a plaque in the pot should make you sit up and take notice. Not look in the couch for the money to call.

Unless of course you wanted to use them for some Uber-huge amount, but I think most people use them as fractionals... Am I right?

Can we PLEASE stop referring to "non-denoms" as "NCVs" please. They mean 2 completely different things.

Harlequin, you can use a non denom plaque for whatever you want. Bounty, buyin, rabbit hunt, $500, 1K, $10...whatever. As long as it matches your set, it's cool. In fact, I think you would end up selling more of the non-denom plaques compared to the $1k you are currently gauging interest in.

Yeah?

Never thought of them like that! Thanks, those are some good ideas.

I'd have to ask my designer about that.





HOOOOOOOOOOOONEY..........!


But seriously, a non-denom would be cool

Yeah, I had a little verbal slippage. Not to confused with NCV.

I don't want to bogart another member's idea though.

NCV is used even by chip manufacturers to mean non-denom (pc.com for example does so). It can mean either no cash value or no chip value. I think for us home users, it makes sense for it to mean no chip value since we usually don't cash in the $500 & $1000 chips at the end of the nite

I may even use a plaque for a dealer button!

Well, of course the quality won't match, but if we could get the basics down it wouldn't be too bad, I don't think. Basics being, imho, a giant inlay of a NY landmark/location, duplicate the wording to the extent possible, and match the number font with "NCV" (or even just skip that). so long as the edge spots rock in a similar way, it'd be sweet.

I agree that plaques designate a higher denomination but, for people actually using their PNYs, I think a cheap alternative to $2.50, $20 and even $500 or $1000 would be desired. Not too mention for those games needing a $.50 chip. Hey, if people think BC qulaity os so inferior, we could do a $.50 chip with a picture of a NY garbage alley way on the inlay.

I've never used chip forge but maybe within the next week I can use some images on a blue chip with some...hmmm, I'll have to figure out edgespots. But anyway, do a mockup. People should feel free to beat me to it though.
