I would love to see how a chip is made as well. If Paulson does tours of their factory for the public, I'm pretty sure I'd get myself arrested or kicked out of their factory. |

No, no video clips or personal experience (with my own eyes). I think the closest most of us have come to seeing them made is something like this : http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/mfgchip.htm ... Which I'm sure we've all seen before ... |

The link to Robert Eisenstadt's site is your best info. on the basic process. We hold tolerances to a couple thousandths, but you would be amazed at how labor intensive it is. That is the main cost driver on why clay chips cost so much.

LOL...before I started my business I was a production manager at Frito Lay...slicing the potato thin is correct, but your oil temperature is way too hot!  You're going to end up with some scorched chips!

Not security for casino customer accounts, right?
As far as I've heard there are no casino accounts for Blue Chip. |
