Default Why the plastic chips in LA cardrooms? (LC)

They freaking suck... Are they that much cheaper/more durable?

A few casinos out in here in Vegas use them and they are the absolute worst chips in history. I believe that Cantebury Park in MN uses them too. They stick together, near impossible to cut (even for an ex bacc / dice dealer), and are just downright not fun to play with.

No. But I've been there. I wouldn't want to live in LA(don't like cities and hate traffic) but a nice suburb would be sweet. I'm pretty sure I hate the cold, and it's not like real estate is "cheap" up here.

NYC isn't in New England, hate to break it to you, LOL.

I'm from NY and absoultely HATE that city with everyone on top of each other all the time. Could they have found a smaller place to put 15 million people?

Go figure, another New Yorker thinking the universe revolves around NYC.
Agreed on the plastic chips, especially when they haven't been washed in a while. Pretty disgusting.

Apparently I'm the only one who likes the chips from the Bike, Commerce, AC's Borgata, etc. I had always thought they were better constructed but I guess I'm wrong....
