hey guys,

i normally play poker in the mid-west (Indiana Caesar's and Detroit Motorcity Casino) and have been accustomed to some abused and overused poker chips. This is where I first started playing live poker and knew nothing else. After several trips to LA and Vegas (Commerce, Bellagio, Venetian), I'm shocked to see how "new" and clean their chips were compared to where I play. Is this the norm?

Does the casino you play at have nasty poker chips? Chips that are chipped, the stickers (if they have them) falling/peeling off, dirt encrusted, and sticky? At Motorcity, they have some of the worst. I picked up a rash a while back after playing there one night and it took fungus cream to get rid of it and it's happened twice.....

The worst I heard was from Caesar's Indy...my friend played some low limit poker there and he said a guy with Herpes warts all over his arms was playing and pressing hard up against the chips and he got up and left, cuz he said he thought one of his warts burst with Herpes pus onto the chips. The chips there were so sticky and dirty, he just got up and left.

What is the norm where ppl play? From my experience the Commerce had VERY nice chips, as did the Venetian.

(has anyone complained or suggested to management about switching chips?)
