Today we talk about 43mm chips and my thoughts about them. They aren't the first thing that most would probably think about collecting in the world of casino chips, but they are unique. Most 43mm chips are baccarat chips which have been used for decades now. Today you don't see them too often, but they are still used here and there. Now a days you do see some casinos using 43mm chips as cash chips, NCV, free play, tournament, promo, baccarat and they could be used for other reasons too. In Vegas primarily, 43mm chips were used as baccarat chips in the 70s through the 90s at casinos like the Sands and Dunes, then used as Race and Sports Book chips at places like the Little Caesars and the Frontier. There were plenty of other places that used them like the Aladdin, but that's just to name a few. I personally like them because they are unique, they are mainly IHC (Inverse H&C), they're of course slightly larger, you don't see many of them and it's something different. One day I'd love to have a 43mm chip set. Dunes maybe? or something similar would be amazing! Hope you enjoy!
