Unicorn's

Anybody ever play with these? Anybody have a large set of them? I never hear anybody mention them, and I was just curious!

Thanks for humoring me!!

Chipco Unicorns.

I have a few samples and I've played tournaments in Reno and at Turning Stone with these.

They are softer, have more rounded corners and are heavier than "super diamonds". They stack very well.

I equate the feel more to the NEXGENS, not the hardness of the real cheapies.

They still have an injection mold pimple.

The ones in the casinos were hot stamped with initials - either NCV or TS (for Turning Stone).

Unicorns are a very nice cheap chip for real casinos. They feel "real" and play real well, for the price. They have the feel of the old BJ suits chips.

Chipco makes them, and also sells them on the open market.

How are they compared to a faux clay or a soprano? How about an ASM?

I have used these before and they are no doubt the best cheap chips, better than the faux clay and soprano. Not as good as ASM though.

I like the unicorns, I use them as either .25 or .50 chips in my Vineyard cash game set. They are the same height (stacks of 20 line up perfectly) and width as the Paulsons - although lighter. Nice chips for the money. You can also put labels on them and they look and feel great.

I have a set that I stumbled on and my local card room uses them in tournies. Their chips obviously get a lot of use so the edges are rounded and shuffle beautifully. My relatively new unicorns shuffle as well though the feel isnt as 'effortless'. Sound isnt annoying either.

I promised a review. I think I'll get cracking on it this weekend....

Here's a very well worn Unicorn I took off a casino boat in Myrtle Beach SC a couple of months ago.



I really like these chips. They're much more expensive than faux clays or sopranos, so any comparison needs to take that into account. If I were going to buy a set of non-denoms, and I had 35¢ apiece to spend, that would be my chip!
