I agree with you ! I don't know who talked who into these chips (new new rack) but I think they are funky looking when compared to the old chipco's shown below. I am waiting to see who is going to be playing with the new $500 and $1000 chips. I have been out there when a few players will bet a $100 on a hand or two but that's only when they have been winning betting $25 a hand at the Black Jack tables. Must be a richer crowd around when I'm not. In all the times I have been there I have never seen a $500 in play. Oh well...
