Organometallic compounds of antimony, bismuth, germanium, tin, and lead

These may be named substitutively on the basis of the appropriate parent hydride. In these recommendations, this method is preferred.

Chemical formula is C10 H12 NO2 diluted by 2 parts H2O.

Plus the most revered Ruler of the East has inserted a microchip into each one so he knows when you've been sleeping,
he knows when you're awake,
he knows when you been bad or good,
so let's be good for goodness sake...

I tend to buy my Borgata chips at the Borgata. I know, it sounds silly, but it works for me. Maybe if I shop around, I can get a better price???

If it's this chip, those are Bud Jones:

Most of your "big name" casinos are going to use Bud Jones (that 'plastic' type), Chipco (those 'ceramic' ones), or Paulsons (the 'clay' ones with the Top Hat and Cane inset).

I figured as much. The Gamblers General Store is out of stock on that. I heard there is an ebook somewhere.

Are you trying to counterfit them? Like wth do you think they are made of some sort of plastic or clay material. Maybe if you gave more details as to why you are asking people could help?

Are you trying to buy a similar set for a home game?

I wouldn't advise this.

I have read that casinos are moving to a new technology whereby each individual chip is created with an implanted microchip.

The casino is able to track the action of its players much more accurately, as well as detect counterfeits immediately...

I don't see how this could work in a Bud Jones chip, though. The metal slug provides all the weight, so if part or all of that is removed to make room for the RFID chip, any idiot would be able to recognize the weight difference.

I'd guess that Bud Jones will add RFID, and then redistribute the slug/plastic ratio to leave a chip that weighs the same. Pretty sure you can make the chip lighter/heavier now at manufacturing, and those options don't change if you add RFID.

RFID in the big chips only at Wynn, IIRC.

They're made by GPI. They own Paulson, Bud Jones, and others. It's the Bud Jones product line -- their "speed chip". Fairly expensive at just over a $1 a piece.

The big card rooms in California and Washington use the same chips. They don't wear on the edges (so 20 always fit the same in a rack), they don't chip, and they don't collect grime (so they don't stick together).
