Is it possible to get custom made octagons from Chipco? (or another manufacturer)
That would be really cool to see, and I'd be very interested in that...Probably pretty expensive, but I am just thinking of a single style chip....Just a thought-

ChipCo has said no more octagons or plaques for the home market. |

Matthew | Which casinos? Just curious which ones currently use Chipco octagons?

They have to be really high value cheques - so it's unlikely I will ever see them in use.

Just one question,I had been told the only way you could get those chips is if you were grandfathered in from a past purchase, has this also changed, because if it hasn't then ten would be able to buy more of them since he is grandfathered in on those octagons! I'm sure they would make it near impossible by asking for 250,000 chip purchase, just curious if this grandfathered in thing is for real or not? |

I have 10 octagons with the edgespots on the left and right side of the chip. Later I bought another 20. They have the edgespots on the top and bottom of the chip. So there seems to be two different batches of them.
I think the door is now completely closed, grandfather or not.

TT | if there was a grandfather clause, why in god's name wouldn't mspatton have them in stock right now?
