I posted a question yesterday about a Bud Jones style chip and who manufactured it (thanks again for the help Tim). It got me thinking and I made an attempt to discover as many different chip makers as possible. I am sure I haven't got them all yet, so if you know of any I have missed I would appreciate the help. I am not looking for the Chinese dice chip manufacturers, just the ones that supply chips and jetons to casinos. Please include any that are no longer in operation (please let me know if it is the case).
Here is what I have so far:
Abbiati
Atlantic Standard Molding (ASM)
Blue Chip Company
CHIPCO
Dolphin
Gaming Partners International (Bourgogne & Grasset, Bud Jones, Paulson)
Hispania
Matsui Gaming
RT Plastics
Sun-Fly (Chipco style ceramic)
TCS John Huxley
T.R. King (No longer in Operation)
I am just curious how many companies there are (and have been in the past) and what sort of share they have in the world market (GPI holds the lion's share).
Thanks
