3d Poker Chip

[Sara Legath]

Ourbest value for most use cases, our Composite Poker Chips are great for both promotional and poker/gaming uses. Their large printable area makes them a nice choice for designs that have detailed brand messaging.

Typically the better choice for actual poker use. Heaviest chip, softest feel, best stacking and to avoid mistaking one color of chip with another during play, they feature a primary color with up to two additional spot colors.

I like the way they look without a chip.. BUT, if you are looking at a traditional burst colour it does look like something is missing but that's just cos we are used to it... If the colour is like wine red or blue or something, leave them off.

I think some LPs look good without it and some look good with it. I also think that the 2017 HP looks good without it, in part because of all the chrome. The same can be said of the pick guard. My Epi LP Standard has such nice maple, I hated to cover any of it up, though in some ways it looked nice with it. I ended up getting a laser cut clear pickguard which gives me the best of both...something of a ghost...it's there but, it isn't.

SGs usually came with them, too. All of mine have it stock, and on the one with the tog pot for the middle pickup this isn't mentioned. The chip looks just the same, and I have to deal with that myself. :unsure:

By the way, the middle position is my choice for storage to minimize load-induced fatigue of the contact tongues. They seem to like that in the darkness of the hard cases - all of the toggle switches are perfectly reliable since up to 34 years. :) In all positions when in use

Not a bad thing... I like solos in "Rhythm" and play rhythm in "Treble" with tone lowered a little.... no wonder it's confusing. Fortunately being old, I can't read the "poker chip" without reading glasses. I let my ears do the seeing.

I hadn't even thought about it when I got mine. Mine did come with a detached pickguard that I'll probably leave off. But, it didn't come with the "poker chip" around the selector switch. Can those be purchased at a dealer if I decide I want one?

Every year at Axon we host a company kick off where we get the entire company together and talk about our goals for the year. About 10 years ago I proposed that we should give everyone in the company a poker chip at the kick off and they should write one main goal they were going to hit that year.

Back then we had a few hundred employees and the exercise was pretty fun. Each person would actually get two poker chips and write their single goal on both chips with their name on the back. They would keep one chip and put the other one in a clear glass vase we keep at HQ. We did this in person, playing some pump up the jam music, each person would walk up and drop on poker chip in the vase and then keep the other one with them.

So we did this for a few years and as the company grew I got the feeling this might be becoming a little gimmicky and the logistics of having a thousand plus people drop a poker chip in a vase in a single line proved pretty unwieldy one year. So the following year we stopped doing it.

Chips and plaques used in table games may be made of a mixture of metal, clay, ceramic, and plastic materials inlayed or painted with colors and numbers indicating various denominations, while metal token coins are used primarily in slot machines. Some casinos embed RFID tags into chips to collect data and fight counterfeiting, and plaques may have printed serial numbers.

Tokens are employed for several reasons. Because of the uniform size, shape, and patterns of stacks of chips, they are easier to tally compared to currency. This attribute also enables the pit boss or security to quickly verify the amount being paid, reducing the chance that a dealer might incorrectly pay a customer. The uniform weight of the casino's official tokens allows them to weigh great stacks or heaps of chips rather than tally them (though aids such as chip trays are far more common). Furthermore, it is observed that consumers gamble more freely with replacement currencies than with cash.[1] A more pragmatic reason for casinos using chips in place of cash at table games is to discourage players from grabbing back their bet and attempting to flee should their bet not win, because chips, unlike cash, must be redeemed at the casino cashier and have no value outside the casino in question. Lastly, the chips are considered to be an integral part of the casino environment, and replacing them with some alternate currency would be unpopular.[2]

Many casinos have eliminated the use of metal tokens (and coins) in their slot machines, in favor of paper receipts or pre-paid cards, which, while requiring heavy infrastructure costs to install, eliminate the coin handling expenses, jamming problems encountered in machines which took coins or tokens and can allow more game-specific technology in the space of a machine which would usually be dedicated to coin mechanisms. While some casinos (such as the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas) which installed the receipt system had kept the $1 tokens around for use as $1 chips, most other casinos using the receipts had simply scrapped the tokens entirely. Most casinos using receipts have automated machines at which customers may redeem receipts, eliminating the need for coin counting windows and decreasing labor costs.

Casino chip collecting is a part of numismatics, more specifically as specialized exonumia collecting. This hobby has become increasingly popular with the Casino Chips & Gaming Tokens Collectors Club formed in 1988. Some collectors may value certain casino tokens up to $100,000, which are typically traded on online auction websites like eBay. Several casinos sell custom-made sets of chips and one or two decks of cards stamped with the name of the casino on them. Each set is contained in a small briefcase or box.

The ancestors of modern casino tokens were the counters used to keep score in the card games Ombre and Quadrille. In 1752, French Quadrille sets contained a number of different counters, known as jetons, fiches and mils. Unlike modern poker chips, they were colored differently only to determine player ownership for purposes of settling payments at the end of the game, with different denominations differentiated by different shapes that each counter type had.[3]

In the early history of Poker during the 19th century, players seemed to use any small valuable object imaginable. Early poker players sometimes used jagged gold pieces, gold nuggets, gold dust, or coins as well as "chips" primarily made of ivory, bone, wood, paper, and a composition made from clay and shellac. Several companies between the 1880s and the late 1930s made clay composition poker chips. There were over 1000 designs from which to choose. Most chips were white, red, blue, and yellow, but they could be made in almost any color desired.

The vast majority of authentic casino chips are "clay" chips but can be more accurately described as compression molded chips. Contrary to popular belief, no gaming chip going as far back as the 1950s has been 100% clay. Modern clay chips are a composition of materials more durable than clay alone. At least some percentage of the chips is of an earthen material such as sand, chalk, and clay similar to that found in cat litter. The process used to make these chips is a trade secret, and varies slightly by manufacturer, most being relatively expensive and time-consuming per chip. The edge spots, or inserts, are not painted on; to achieve this effect, this area of the clay is removed and then replaced with clay of a different color; this can be done to each chip individually or a strip can be taken out of a cylindrical block of material and replaced with the alternate color before the block is cut into chips. Then each chip receives a mid-inlay if desired, and is placed in a special mold that compresses the chip, hence the term compression molded chips. The pressure of the compression and the heat that is added varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

The printed graphics on clay chips is called an inlay. Inlays are typically made of paper and are then clad with a plastic film applied to the chip prior to the compression molding process. During the molding process the inlay becomes permanently fastened to the chip and can not be removed from the chip without destroying the inlay.
