I was at San Manuel Casino (Highland, CA) Monday night to check out their brand-new building and to play a little (played 4-8 kill). Huge parking structure, beautiful architecture/decor, gorgeous poker room, nice new tables. . . CRAP-ASS chips!! I have identified them as R.T. Plastics "Tuscany" style. About as slippery as a dice chip (seems to be some kind of polypropylene plastic), very "home poker" looking, with a steel insert to boot (sticks to a magnet). Very hard to stack (fortunately, they allowed you to play out of the chip rack, which everyone was doing). I sure hope these are only temporary until their custom Paulson or Bud Jones order comes in (wishful speculation). Anyone else ever play with R.T. Plastic chips? Why would anyone get these?

The owners of the casino should obviously be hog-tied and their children slaughtered.

Your probably on the right track here, but it's not like they didn't have enough time to get an order of chips ready for an opening. Building a casino is not a 2 month project, it takes a long time before ever being ready to open the doors. My guess would be almost a year or more. Plenty of time to get your Paulson order. Also, I would think that choosing the chips they were going to use and getting them ordered would have been pretty damn high on the "to do" list.

I concur. RT Plastics are crap.

Especially since they still don't have their FREAKING LIQUOR LICENSE!! I had to play stone-cold sober! Finally got steamed after enough bad beats to simulate inebriation and made all my money back playing a J4s vs. KK in a kill pot!
(BTW, you're always a crack-up, yeltzie!)

i wouldn't say they are crap.........at least for home use. but they are definitely not casino-grade.

Oh, heck yeah, to be fair, these would make a great custom home chip set, if you were wanting a plastic chip with custom, high-quality, multi-colored inlaid artwork. Just an unpleasant surprise to see them at my local casino.
