Origional Post.
Hi

These have to be my favourite chips, atleast at the moment. There absolutely stunning to look at and when I look at the chips I really want to get some. So it got me thinking. I have been talking to a few people from this board and friends who play poker and they all seem interested in Palms styled chips.

Here's my Idea. Make the chips simular to the ones that can be seen in the links below:

The main changes from those chips would be making Jasons into something simular to Palms. Replacing Jasons on the edge with either Palms (our equivelent) or the value. Changing the colours to suit our tastes.

Here is what I would propose:
Jasons is replaced with Palms (we cant use Palms so I need someone bright and clever to come up with something else)
Replace Jasons on the rolling edge with the cash value of the chips
Change the colours to:
$1: Blue
$2.50: Pink (Pink Chip game???)
$5: Red
$25: Green
$100: Black
$500: White/Purple
$1000: Yellow
NCV: White/Purple

So would people be interested at all?? All those mentioned above are only my ideas I am sure other people have better ideas and can improve on that. Please post comments and thoughts.

Cheers
Regards
Ian

I've been waiting for this day for a long time! I just purchased a table that resembles The High Stakes game on GSN...and love the PALMS chips they use.

I would definately be interested, but mostly the 50c 1$ 3$ and 5$....for cash game purposes.

As for a name to print on the chips themselves...maybe VEGAS or 5th Street....I can't think right now - sorry.

Ian -

I like the black or white for the 1$ chip, as it would be the one mostly used at the table.

Will we be able to choose our own colors??

Agreed. Might not be a bad idea to bring Jason in the loop here.

Creators of their chips put a lot of work into such a piece of work. Someone else taking that work and modifying it their tastes while can in most cases be perfectly OK and flattering, it's always a good idea to respect the orig. creator and their work.

I think the people that ought to be brought into the loop on something like this is the Palms. Is this not their work?

Jeez, It's OK to knock off the big corporations stuff, like this, or Bellagio, or WSOP, but touching an individuals work without asking is not respecting them. Hmmm

Seems UsIreland made it clear, The title is Palms Casino and he states
"Make the chips simular to the ones that can be seen in the links below"

With all due respect to everyone (and I mean everyone), why is this OK?

I just don't get it

I asked the same question some time back with the SFC fude was swarming around.

[preflopwop]

I don't consider it stealing but rather borrowing....I'm kidding, I think JASON would be honored to share his work. If JASON was going to market these chips, then that's a whole separate ballgame.

I think we get JASON'S input and add a twist. We are all in this together.
There's no "I" in chip. OK maybe one. But darnit, someone come up with a good name to put across my new High Stakes PSALMS poker chips!!!!!!!!!
