6/5 Update
Good news bad news...
Good news... we will probably have to have the UV imprinted on the chips.
Bad news... It will cost us more.
I imagine up to .10 each. Those that have already PAID will not have to incur the costs. I will update when I get a final price.
5/2 Update
The Sin City Showdown will start at 3:00 PM August 12th. Get there early, because we will be starting on time. CASH GAMES and Sit N Gos to be held in the High Limit room for us after the ME. Be sure to stick around afterwards!
4/24 Update
The chips will not be used in the event and It is unlikely they will be done by the time the event is held. Also, a sample set is NO LONGER INCLUDED in the seat price.
4/23 Update
The price is going to remain $1.43 per chip. The deadline for money due is going to be announced later. It is no longer the end of April.
OK everyone forget
almost everything you've heard before now.
Here is the lowdown on the Showdown.
First off. CHANGE OF VENUE!
We will now be playing in the High Limit Room of the Venetian!
Thats right, I said it. High Limit Room at the VENETIAN! We will be able to accommodate up to 50 players. I'm sure it won't be a big deal to have some folks hang out and railbird while we're at it.
What do we gain from switching venues?
- Room cost is covered in the buy in. $40 per person goes to the house. No longer do we need to come up with the $7000.00 in set up and room fees!
- Free alcohol, just like the casino floor.
- Sit-and-Gos after the ME
- Still a private room! Only US in the FRIGGEN HIGH LIMIT ROOM!
- A whole lot less chips to sell to make overhead
- Good location on the strip in arguably the best poker room in Vegas.
- Flexible tournament structure. 5 or so hours.
Ok, so what do we loose.
- The big one. We can not get custom chips or use our own. They must come from the Venetian.
- Absolute privacy, and some mingling capabilities.
- Sample sets for all attendees. (Refunds on request)*
So I know that we're a little bummed about loosing the chips. But I have good news about that.
I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER CHANNEL TO GET CUSTOM PAULSONS!
Without all the limitations. I will post the FINAL designs we are going to attempt here.
The problem is... You will not be able to pick them up at the Sin City Showdown. They will go to my home and be handled like any other GB. I will ship to you or a proxy.
* You may replace the sample set you were going to get at the SCS for a sample of what is going to be made.
The price is not set. But I will get firm pricing to you, soon. The chip design is not up for discussion. Blonde Widow has done a great job with everything. If you don't like em. Take a hike.
Seriously. Take a hike.
This is the first attempt. Colors and patterns are subject to change. The inlays will need to be tweaked as well.
I imagine the price will be close to the same. But now there will be a big fat shipping charge. I will be charging for gas, shipping materials, and other expenses tied to running the group buy.
Since I don't need to sell as many chips, and there isn't much incentive for me to get a ton of chips together. I will not order more chips than we need. I will cover free-rolls for the sponsors, and prizes for the events, as well as incidental costs. However, we may come up with some elaborate prizes if we sell a enough.
Don't worry about color denoms and what not... They are on the way shortly.
