With the sudden boom in Poker.... I find myself watcing the World Poker Tour every week and noticing all of the casino's chips.... I have come to fall in love with Borgatas chips... So I was wondering if anybody was interested in gathering a group buy together to make replicas of these chips....

[_GUN_]

Have you seen the $1/5/25 chips for the Borgata? Their regular, non-tournament chips are pretty impressive.

I could be wrong here, but I think these chips are all 43mm, like the St. Charles solids that are floating around CT.

I think only the inverted H&C are the 43 mm in this group, not sure though.

Why not do a fool clay...errrr faux clay knock-off.....lol

Since the Borgata chips are Paulsons, getting Chipco's for the replica will accomplish none of the above. If you want to get close to sound, feel, and looks, you will have to probably go with TR King or possibly ASM.

Just my $.02

I seriously doubt that Chipco would/will have anything to do with this idea. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Chipco would rather honor a copyright protecting the Borgata logo and even perhaps the chip inlay designs themselves, than run the risk of losing it's New Jersey Gaming Commission licensing authorization to manufacture gaming equipment for the casinos that operate in New Jersey.

This same comment can also apply to GPI (Paul-Son, Bud Jones and B&G) and John Huxley, as they are all licensed to operate in New Jersey, which, just like in Nevada and a few other gaming jurisdictions, require (and can inspect for compliance) manufacturers of gaming equipment to, amoung other things, avoid conflicts of interest, like giving the appearance of counterfeiting chips of a viable casino operation.

Turns out that there is a reason(s) why some gaming equipment manufacturers are not licensed in some gaming jurisdictions and why some have lost a license or two over the years.

On a side note, I think I'd like to give credit where credit is do. The scans you have opted to use are courtesy of Archie Black (all with the black background) and Ricky Pushkin (the lone scan with the white background). Both of these individuals spend a great deal of time maintaining their websites, which of course are geared towards sales, but also double as reference sites.

What about Borgata's chips did you fall in love with exactly watching the WPT? I mean, they don't really show any close ups of any chips, it's hard getting a glimpse of chips' inlays, so I can't really imagine falling in love with the inlay from the TV.

Do you like the solid colors of them? If that's the case, you should look into ASM, TR King, or Blue Chip for solid chips ... some sort of replica of these chips on a ceramic doesn't really fit.
