If you're looking for the best chips money can buy, you've arrived. Here are
a few of the many accolades of the Le Paulson Noir chips:
About the Le Paulson Noir Line
The Le Paulson Noir clay poker chip line is the culmination of two very talented
artists and two very reputable companies coming together to create one outstanding
poker chip line. Joining Sidepot Gaming Company on this project were Kevin Finnegan
(mold designer), John Faulhaber (inlay designer), and Paulson.
Poker chip aficionados know the foundation of all great clay poker chips is
a great mold design. As such, the impetus for the Le Paulson Noir line came
from a mold design contest hosted on a leading online poker community and forum.
Twenty-four talented designers from around the globe competed in the design
contest, incorporated community feedback into their designs, and ultimately
faced-off in a series of voting rounds to determine the best designs. The winning
designer walked away with a $750 prize package of our Protégé
chips, and we ultimately ended up going into production with the runner-up crowd
favorite by Kevin Finnegan that fit well within the Sidepot product mix. The
Paradise mold was born.
Sidepot Gaming commissioned Paulson, a proven brand in the casino industry,
to produce this stylish new mold. This is the first “Boutique Paulson
mold” as it is owned exclusively by Sidepot Gaming and will only be used
to produce Sidepot chips. Sidepot Gaming’s controlled production and specialty
distribution suggest these will be some of the most exclusive Paulson chips
available. The Le Paulson Noir is the maiden line on the Paradise mold.
The Le Paulson Noir inlay design came from a separate, and perhaps even more
competitive, design contest on a highly specialized poker chip aficionado forum.
The design we based the Le Paulson Noir inlay on was a runner-up crowd favorite
by John Faulhaber in the inlay design portion of the Protégé contest.
We commissioned John to adapt his inlay to the Le Paulson Noir concept and work
out the details on chip colors and inlay design elements with feedback from
the same online community responsible for the Paradise mold design. The end
result is what you see here.

is an Aston Martin. His watch of choice is an Omega. His gun of choice
is a Walther PPK. And his poker chip of choice is a Paulson [The

Editorial In Review
Inside Counsel |
We’re proud to introduce the Le Paulson Noir clay poker
chip line, the extraordinary result of a dream team of contributors: a brilliant
mold designer, a distinguished inlay designer, two impressive communities, a
renowned leader in poker chip manufacturing, and a retailer that’s working
hard to raise the bar on the quality and beauty of chips available to poker
players worldwide.
Proprietary Paulson Mold - The
Paradise mold was made by Paulson exclusively for Sidepot Gaming chips.
100% Authentic Casino Chips - Same clay chips, same manufacturer,
as those used in numerous popular Las Vegas casinos
Casino-style edge spot progression - The edge spot configuration
gets more and more complicated as the denomination of the chip gets higher,
just like clay chips do in many of Las Vegas' most prestigous casinos (it makes
it easier to differentiate them when in racks).
7 Denominations - Choose from $1 thru $5000 denominations
Cash Game Friendly - Understated currency markings make the
set friendly for non-US players and/or cash games.
Black Inlays - Unique and sophisticated black inlays with
color matched design elements. |
