i think PC is looking for pictures of the chips or a link to pictures of the chips rather than a link to the show.

Considering that the people asked the same company that made their chips for "Rounders" and it is the same two guys behind the Tilt show, I am pretty sure they are Blue Chip. Plus, it looked like I was a ble to see a quick glance of the "shell" mold during the preview.

The Chips in the movie "Rounders" were made by ASM.

Doh, that's right. Then I am not sure. But, it did look like the "shell" mold during the preview. Whatever the mold, it was very small and spaced out like the Blue Chip mold. Definatley wasn't Roman or Horsehead, but they looked pretty nice.

The chips used in "Tilt" are in fact Blue Chip.
I have confirmed this with Blue Chip themselves

I also saw the flame mold during the preview last week.
One of the guys said something like " we recreated every detail so that it could be as real as possible, we even got the largest chip maker in las vegas to make our chips."
Is blue chip really the largest, or was he just lying out of his pants?

Not necessarily being deceptive intentionally, just speaking to the best of his knowledge which may not have been terribly detailed. 
Additionally, while GPI does have an office in Las Vegas, maybe they don't count since they're actually based in France. And Chipco is based in Maine, as is ASM, and TR King is in LA, it could very well be that Blue Chip is indeed the largest chip maker that is based in Las Vegas. As a matter of fact it would seem that Blue Chip may be the only chip manufacturer for the casino industry that *is* based in Las Vegas. I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

Totally OT question, but is Blue Chip as flakey as everyone says they are? And would it not be advisable for the end-consumer to try and conduct business with them directly?

RT Plastics is also based in Vegas. They aren't small by any means either.
