The official USPT chip is due to be launched in a few weeks--- you are the first to see these chips here on ChipTalk.net

These are available for purchase to ChipTalk.net members in a limited prerelease version through Admagic
Inquiries can be directed to: admagic@aol.com

First prerelease sets are numbered and security marked.

These are the REAL DEAL and the same chips which will be used down the road for the USPT.

I have no pricing on these as were only the manufacturer but weve worked out a deal for CURRENT ChipTalk.net members who purchase these.

ChipTalk.net members will be able to buy these lower then anyone else in the USA.

If you fail to mention Chiptalk to admagic you will NOT receive prefential pricing so dont forget.

as far as i KNOW- we sort of have a free reign with this stuff- we have to get signed off on ANYTHING we design or want to make- but I dont see any reason why we cant do USPT plaques, 43mm's and add custom denominations if a customer wants them

They made it clear to us when we bought the license that theyre NOT in the chip business- we are- so we can do what we want--
theyre really great people to work with\

Keep in mind- theyre in their infancy with this- they only launched in Oct of last year- this is the WPT all over again only different

Congrats, Joe !

Thanks for sharing the picture of coming attractions.

Do they give you the artwork or do they have you design the chip from the ground up?

One of the problems we had when we bought the license was handling the marketing, sales, etc

Were just too busy to do it so we sublicensed a company called admagic to handle this end... and they designed the first series of USPT chips.

Admagic together with our national sales rep will be in attendence at the USPT events developing markets within the casino stores etc for the chips, plaques, dealer buttons etc and also custom chips.

We will do what we do best- ( or worst- depending on whom ya talk to LOL) and manufacture

[surfrat]

Joe any idea on pricing on these yet?
