Several folks have stopped by the site and registered and the comments and suggestions coming in have been fantastic. There are some questions that have been asked several times, and I thought it would help if I addressed them here.
Q. Where did the chip information come from.
A. The information in the ChipDB.com Database was compiled from the Nevada chip/token reports dating back to 1990. There are currently just over 11,000 chips in the system, with another 2000 + to be in place by next week.
Chips prior to 1990 were provided by Jeff Buckner from his personal collection.
Q. Why can't I see any Images?
A. Out of the 11,000 + chips in the system, only about 900 have images associated with them. Many folks have offered their images, and over the comming weeks, we hope to have more in place.
Q. How do I get the Nevada Chip/Token report.
A. The most recent month will always be displayed on the homepage. Previous months are available from the member area. once you are registered and logged in, click on your name to access the member area and click on the reports tab. The chip/token report for the current year will be listed in word, pdf, and chipDb search formats.
Q. How do I place chips up for sale/trade?
A. Chips must first be in your collection before they can be placed up for sale. Once in your collection, you can then mark it for sale and it will appear in the search results with a green available button.
Q. Can I upload chip images?
A. Yes. You can upload images for the casinos you have adopted. First you must be a registered member. Once you are logged into the member area you can select up to five casinos to adopt. You will then see an update button in the search results and chips details can be modified and it's image uploaded once that button is clicked. Image size should be no larger than 200 x 200. Only gifs and jpegs are supported.
Hope this info helps. These FAQ's will also be posted on the site and will be updated regularly. Again, I'd like to thank everyone for the great feedback! Keep it coming!
