Today we talk about the difference between the many different versions of the Kings Crown casino chips that were made in 1966 and then later throughout the existence of TR King. The Kings Crown was originally supposed to open in 1966, but never got approved for a gaming license by the Nevada Gaming Commission. That meant that all the chips, layouts, gaming equipment and everything never got to the place. They were all brand new which I've only ever seen the chips, but that leaves some wondering where the rest of the stuff went. The artwork was created by TR King so with it never opening meant that TR King was open to using it for whatever they wanted to. If there was a customer that wanted a set of Kings Crown chips that was possible and they made tons of different versions over the years. The main difference between the real and fake/fantasy chips is the style of inlay. The real chips all have shaped inlays whereas the fantasy chips have all circle inlays. They also had hot stamped fracs, but I've never seen those ever, maybe only one. Into the 1980s-early 2000s there were many orders made from customer for Kings Crown tribute chips. Most of the ones throughout the early 2000s before TR King closed were hot stamped chips. These were for cash games and tournament games which most have probably been posted onto Chiptalk, but with that no longer available, it's very hard to find pictures. I've spent hours looking on PokerChipForum, but have only found a handful of pictures which I was blown away by. I'm lucky to have a sample set of colors that were made from that time along with a few hot stamped denom chips. Hope you enjoy!
