OK - Here's How

All web site graphics (inc the chips) were created with Paint Shop Pro (PSP), which is a graphics/photo editor like Adobe's Photoshop, but costs a lot less (under $100). I use an Epson scanner to scan in my chips.

The Vegas Vic illustration is from the envelope for an old Pioneer Club Gaming Guide. The "Las Vegas" was lifted off a commercial web site for LV travel.

The Primadonna showgirl is from a postcard off of eBay (that I didn't win). I love that logo. Too bad they went to the more politically correct (& less sexy) showgirl.

The Small Town and the Lake Tahoe inlays are pictures I found on the web. The Small Town BW photo is a state line in Northern NV. There are some buildings to the left that I cropped out. The photo is tinted in PSP to appear purple. I thought that is was appropriate, since every NV state line has a casino on it.

The tricky part of the mold is changing the color when it hits an insert. It is accomplished by making molds in 2 different layers/colors. One is for the base chip color (higher level layer) and one is for the insert. The "insert mold" is masked to only allow visibility where the insert is and the "chip mold" is masked to only allow visability where the insert isn't. The depth of the mold is accomplished using a "cutout" filter.

The HTML pages are layed out in MS Word.

Drop me an email if you want any of the source PSP files or photos for these chips OR just higher resolution versions of the chips OR have questions.
