Thanks | All I know is that they recently had a 30,000 chip order out of Nevada right in the middle of our group buy production.
That's 30,000 chips made one by one. Oh the ASM girls' fingers must really be hurting. |

Thanks | I've been wondering the same thing myself. I have been taking some time every couple of days checking out chipguide.com and have found several ASM examples particularly in Washington State and California. (I'm not sure though how many of them are currently circulated or how many are older chip models.) I haven't been taking notes on which casinos they are but if you go there and look around you'll find some examples. I'm sure there are more, but it takes a while to go through all of them! |

I was just wondering, in light of so many casino's using Paulson's, who was using ASM..
Also, I don't know what kind of coverage TRKing had of commercial casino business, but I'd imagine that would help ASM's business now....

I know there are some ASM casino chips on the Chipguide website in Michigan and Washington state, and a cruise in Georgia. That's all that come to mind right now. |

That was me. Dennis basically told me that he was no longer interested in the Casino Chip business. At the time I thought this was strange and that it might not be too many more years that this catches up with him. As it turns out, it was much more telling than I ever thought at the time.
I just saw some of the ASM HHR $5 chips in an indian casino in MN just a month or so ago. They were all pretty well worn so I did not pick any up. Pretty sure it was at Fortune Bay Resort and casino in Lake Vermillion MN. Sorry I can't come up with a pic.
