2012 Chip Challenge; Help me build a $1 Chip Set

STR82ACE · Dec 27,2011, 10:32 AM

I got this idea from another poster on Chiptalk and thought I would give myself a challenge for the New Year. I'm looking a building a new chip set of $1 chips from various poker rooms in Canada, and I'm asking for help from all you CPF'ers.

What I am looking for is about 25 to 30 $1 chips from each poker room in the country, shipped to me, and I'll pay face value plus shipping costs via PayPal or EMT or P* transfer, whatever works for you the best. In total I would like a 1000pc set, however I estimate it will be closer to 350 to 500. I really don't want full racks of $1 chips, just the quantity stated above.

I have a spreadsheet created that lists various poker rooms in the country, however I KNOW its incomplete or outdated. I'll keep track of who is willing to supply from which casino and avoid duplications wherever possible. Once you are willing to help me build this set, PM me to confirm I don't already have some from that particular casino, along with your preferred method of payment, and I'll send you my shipping address and ship the funds to you.

Here are some guidelines to follow:

- ONLY Canadian Casinos with poker rooms. No racetrack or charity casinos that don't have a poker room please
- No underground clubs (this may be my challenge for 2013)
- MUST be $1 chips ONLY, white in colour, edgespots are not important
- all chips should be as close to mint as possible. No damage to either inlay or edges please
- fairly clean of dirt and grime, however if this is not possible, I can clean them up upon receipt
- inlays must show the casino name and location clearly as well as denomination
- packaging for safe shipment to be considered. Bubble wrap works great, in a small Canada Post box.
- PM me prior to shipping to confirm I don't already have that series, I will try to update this thread as much as I can.

When you go play in the casino, get an additional rack of 100 $1 chips, and as you play, go through the rack and choose the best 25 or so chips, return the rest or put them in the game (actually, not sure if they will allow you to bring chips to the table if they're not intended to be put into play...if you can take a few moments to go through them prior to sitting at the table though, that would be great).

Upon receipt, I will take some chip pron pics and post them individually by casino by contributor, and once the entire set is complete, I'll post pics of them all.

Here's a list of poker rooms that I have to date. As I said, I know some places are missing and others may have shut down, so I don't know how up to date it is, but if you know of a poker room that isn't on this list, let me know and I'll add it.

Cannot suggest any casinos, but I am going to suggest that you change your Forum name. How do you feel about: m00se?

Irunit4times · Dec 27,2011, 12:29 PM

Damn, Been to a few of these casinos personally and never thought about doing something like this, would have been pretty cool thinking about it now to have a little collection of chips for myself. Good luck with it and would love some photos as they roll in.

I honestly don't know if they're the same as I've only been to Casino Niagara.

Do poker-only rooms count... I am thinking of Playground Poker Club and Four Aces near Montreal? They are poker rooms only, not casinos with other games.

I am glad to help out and cover Lac Leamy for you.
