| | | Question: ASM custom inlays
can someone tell me about the custom inlays that ASM puts on their chips? are they like the inlays on paulsons, or are they very easy to peel off? are they smooth/textured? etc.
thanks guys,

| | | The horsehead eagle chip sample I have here has a textured inlay and theres no way you are peeling it off without digging in with a passion. Like all other casino quality clay chips, the inlay is screened onto the chip, it's not like a label. |

The graphics are printed on a label & glued to the chip.
Not that the labels will start peeling off on their own or anything, but they are MUCH easier to remove than a Paulson.

J5 | Then I was lied to by at least 3 different sales people at pc.com, so I will have to disagree about them being glued on. |

| | | Must be something about the different sample molds.
Because my ASM samples (several types of Horesheads) are high-quality inlays -- molded into the chip, definitely not a label, and with a nice textured finish. Equal in quality to some of the best old Paulsons.
Just my limited experience with HHs, so I can't speak for other chips. |

There is no edge to pick at where the label ends, it goes all the way past the edge of the label and to the first concentric circle. There is no way this label is glued on. |

J5 | Johnny,
As a point of reference/comparison how is their process different than the "linen textured" Paulson casino-grade chips? I'm just trying to help out in this discussion/comparison... and maybe learn something myself.  |  | |
