Agua Caliente Casino Chips and Felts

Players who collect blackjack chips will want to head to the Agua Caliente Casino Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage. The new Blackjack felts and chips feature designs highlighting entertainers like Sheryl Crow, Huey Lewis, Billy Idol and others.

The casino commissioned the $5 chips and felts from Gaming Partners International. The Paulson brand chips are made of 13 different components and are thermo-compressed; they are generally called “clay chips”. The inlays are customized with the various entertainer photos.

The chips feature the faces of entertainers who are booked at The Show, the resort’s concert venue. Because there are a limited number of chips produced, they might prove to be highly valuable to collectors.

“We wanted to bring more excitement to the casino floor and showcase the fantastic talent we have booked in The Show,” said Michael Dickson, director of table games at the Agua Caliente in a press release. “How great is it that our guests can now say they’ve played with Billy Idol and Sheryl Crow?”

Dickson said that players were also excited about the chips. He expects them to be a hot commodity.
