HORSE HEAD RIGHT (HHR) --
16 horse heads looking to the viewer's right. (Another way of putting
it is that you see the right side of the horse's head.) 1965-present.
Langworthy & Co., Las Vegas NV; Wico Gaming Supply, Las Vegas (1994-1996);
Gambler's General Store, Las Vegas NV; and Atlantic Standard Molding,
Portland ME, uses it now; ..............On the chip to the left, which is
for sale here, I applied soap to the recessed embossed horse heads for
scanning purposes. The Paradise Theater was in Aspen CO.
about the early 1990's. I believe the club featured low-stake fun
gambling for drinks, etc. Currently at the location is the Double
Diamond night club, which features live music bands. The chips are
in excellent condition; somehow the "Aspen" imprint did not scan well. |

ELEPHANT HEAD AND CROWN --
elephant head and crown, repeated four times. 1980's-present.
Marion & Co., North Miami
FL has exclusive use of the mold. The mold is used primarily in
casinos outside of the U.S., and for private games throughout the world............The
inlaid chip on the left is for sale here. It shows a rat holding
playing cards. I have it in gray and blue. I scored the surface with
pencil so the scan would show the recessed design. |
$3.00
each. |

DRAGON -- 4 dragons. Recent mold, still
in use. Flimsy, light (4 grams) plastic, yet the center can be hot-stamped
with an image. The chip is offered today by many gambling supply
houses as an inexpensive alternative to their standard chips. The
Dragon chips (and the Mermaid and diamond plastic chips) are suggested
for promotional chips, infrequent home games and Las Vegas nights, etc.

JOCKEYS -- 9 jockeys crouched in racing
position, holding a riding crop. John Huxley and Co., London,
England. 
Not used in U. S. casinos. Borland says it is popular
in European casinos, although I have a "Regent & Huxley Casino Equipment,
Atlantic City, U.S.A." advertising chip of this mold design.
The chip on the left is in Lesotho, an independent kingdom and enclave
in South Africa. ... ..... ...... I have for sale some used chips with this
mold. They have new stickers on them that say "Eclipse Casinos" and
either £25 or £100 on them. Identified as from:
Mobile fun night casino, based in Southampton,
UK. Click here

MERMAIDS -- 4 mermaids reclining.
Recent mold, still in use. In 2004, I noticed this variation at the
Gamblers General Store in Las Vegas. It is the chip on the right here. (Note
the inside circle and the elongated small circles.)
The comments in MD-69 Dragons, above, apply here, except that
the Mermaid chips are more substantial 7 gram chips, are injection molded,
but have a more clay-like feel..........The red chip at the left (Gulf
Coast Dealers School) is for sale here. |

FLOWERS -- flower with stem, repeated
12 times. c.1940-present. George & Co., Buffalo NY.

now. Click here to see their new
web site. ............The chip pictured, for sale here, is unattributed. |

DOLHPINS -- a dolphin,
repeated 4 times. Relatively modern 21st century chip. Injection
molded, but it is probably of a nylon composition (not the usual plastic);
fairly heavy; makes a nice dull thud when it bounces on a table. I
don't know who makes or owns the mold. The chip pictured is from
Jim Follis. The Arizona Club was an Indian casino in that state.
....... ........ ........ I have plain (no hot-stamp) samples of the chip
for sale in brown and gray.

CLOVER -- 6 embossed
clovers around the rim. The chip is made by the the French-owned
Bourgogne et Grasset. Appreciate comments as to how long the mold
has been made. It has become a widespread, “B et G” standard
nylon hotstamp chip often used for low denominations. It is reported,
by Greg Susong, that the chip was used as early as 1997 around the world,
oustside of the U.S.: Cambodia, Canada,
Spain and Belgium. I thank Ross Poppel
for the scan. ... .... ...... I have examples of this mold for
sale. Click
here to see the chip: 5 Kronor chip of the Casino Monte Carlo.
Stockholm, Sweeden, which closed about 1994. Until then it was one
of Sweden's oldest and most traditional gaming places, with slot machines
and casino tables operating since the early 1970's.
