I'm really excited about the windows.

Not to burst your bubble but those aren't windows, just the wall painted with a seaside scene. It's nice, but no actual windows.

I was fooled by the pictures. I thought they were windows. But, I didn't look closely.

GPI is the manufacturer of Bud Jones, they are the largest chip manufacturer in the world. They also manufacture Paulson which is the last remaining clay press if I remember correctly. Casinos are using BJ chips because of security features included that cannot be found in clay chips (I don't know about ceramic which are my favorite, but I would assume not). Get used to them, they are slowly being rolled out across the nation.

from the GPI Website:

UV PIGMENTS (Click to view)
Ultraviolet pigments can be added to the print work on the decal in two ways:

Mixed with the gold and silver color print that will glow green under a UV light.
Invisible printing that will be revealed in light blue only under a UV light.
LASER LOCK MATERIAL (Click to view)
Laser Lock, developed by Laser Lock Technologies Inc, is a patented product developed to make products safer. Laser Lock components are mixed with the ink and are revealed in green under an invisible laser beam sent by a special pen.

IN THE CHIP:

ELP PIGMENT (Click to view)
Electro Luminescent Pigments can be added during the molding injection into the second or the third color of the chip. Under a UV light, the ELP pigments are revealed in the inner ring or on the edge spots.

EDGE LOGO (Click to view)
Thanks to a high-tech injection-molding machine and a highly precise tooling machine, Bud Jones® V7 chips can have edge logos. These edge logos can be standard or customized.

SMARTCHIP™ (Click to view)
Bud Jones chips has developed Smartchip™. This is a Bud Jones V7 chip with an embedded RFID. It allows, with proper reading equipment, a large number of highly secure, reliable, and high-return application systems for table management and chip tracking.

I sat in that room all day yesterday and I was fooled everytime I looked over at them. They don't look realistic at all, but they still fooled me.

40/80 HE and bigger is in the high limit area. 20/40 HE and smaller is out on the floor. All red chip stud and bigger is in the high limit area. They're making an obvious push to get the Taj's stud games.

When I left, three 40 HE games were going, one was a must move.

Nope. The new foxwoods poker room is in the basement.

The old one had a tiny bit of natural light through tinted windows.
