i just came across this and im wondering if anyone else here knew about it. NJ lets u fully customize their ceramic chips. i was always assuming they would only let u customize the inlay. but looks like u can customize the whole deal. anyone looking into these customs?

this image comes from their site too. this looks strangely familiar. isnt this a real casino in Denmark or something? funny that they would go to NJ for their chip needs.

btw, turnaround on these are supposidly only 2 weeks, so i guess thats why they get thier business over chipco.

I emailed them about this:

MY QUESTIONS

1. what colors can i choose from? the exact colors of the nj desert
sands?
2. will the custom chips come with the marbleized edges?
3. on your website it says: " Basic Design available at lesser rates -
contact for quote " what does this 'basic design' look like?
4. will you provide the mold templates?

THE REPLY

1) they are the 8 colors available with the DS
2) yes the will have the marble edge
3) basic design services are @ $25 per hour. its most if you can not do the art or have a design that needs to be converted to AI or EPS
4) all you need is your center inlay... a 1.125 inch circle.

Thanks for your time and business,

I think that logo is from the Palais des Congres Casino.

It might however, not be in Montreal as I suspected. I can't find any history to support that the Casino was ever housed in the Convention center, but I can find evidence that there is a Palais des Congres Casino in Bordeaux, France. Anyone know anything else?

Are you sure? Hopefully you have an image, or was the [/img] tag just a tease? I've seen the logo before too, but can't place it.

I'm pretty sure the actual logo wasn't originally used on the NJ chips, probably just reproduced for the mockup.

There's your image, look above. I did some more research.
