I don't know if this is news to you or not. I was unaware so it caught us by surprise. NGCB will not authorize octagon chips any longer. Artwork was submitted for final approval, but was deniied due to the shape of the chip. ChipCo and GPI confirmed that a live gaming chip in an 8 sided mold will not be approved.

Bummer. Would've been a cool Year of the Snake chip.
