I was pleased to finally get one of the Harrahs Reno birthday chips with an engraved player name on it. Thought I would show both types of chip for those why haven't seen them before. Note that the reverses aren edge spots are different on these two designs. Larry Hollibaugh also shows one with a different color frosting on the cake on his web site.

It appears that the name was either engraved or laser etched on the chip. It is incuse, and is not filled with color.

I've tried a couple of times to get my own chip from the casino but no one seems to know anything about them. These appear to be live chips, not NCV's.

Does anyone have a "balloon" chip with a name on it?
