Does anybody know what chips they use for the show? Any body have HQ pics of the chips by chance? Are they the Palms Casino chips?

They were the Palms chips during the second season I believe (chipcos), but the first and third seasons are Golden Nugget and Southpoint respectively.

here is a link to some pics from the current (3rd) season

Nope, but if by chance you have not seen what the fine folks here at CT have been working on, check this out: HERE

BE SURE TO SCROLL DOWN A BIT.

I have my bundles of fake cash ready to go -- now just the chips!

It all depends on which season you are talking about. The show uses the host casinos high denom chips. The show has been held at the Golden Nugget(best chips in my opinion), Palms(ceramic), South Coast(current season). If you do a search you should find them. That or silver-state-treasures.com has pics.

By the time I type five sentences the proud members of CT have already responded twice.

The high-denom Golden Nugget chips were one of the reasons I ended up finding CT. Unfortunately, pictures of high-denomination chips on the web seem few.

As jd posted, season one was at the Golden Nugget, which uses house mold clay chips - I think made by Paulson. They are some of my favorite casino chips.

Season two at the Palms used ceramics. Great-looking chips, but not my favorite. I have assumed they are Chipco.

The ones at South Point are clay, also on a house mold. I don't know if they are Paulson or Blue Chip. I like the color combinations.

Anyone know for certain about the manufacturers?
