I'm very happy with mine, they're a great starter set. Easy to customize, and they're always a hit with guests. Warning, you may be tempted to spend more money later. Poker chips are like crack.

Can you only get Nexgen chips with Las Vegas and River Poker Tour on the edge? If I had to choose I would pick Las Vegas, just wondering if there are any other options.

I have these:

I really like them a lot. Jason did the labels. I used the Krylon protectant on the sheets of labels before I put them on. For the price, which was around $200 total for everything for 650 chips, I think it was well worth the money.

I think they handle and feel more like real casino chips, and even though they have an insert, they don't sound metallic when you toss them in a pot. I'd buy them again for sure.

Plus, it doesn't take months and months to get them, like custom chips.

I just got 1000 Vegas Nexgens in the mail (also to replace my dice chips) and they are great for the price. They stack and shuffle much easier and sound much nicer in my opinion. I ordered labels from Jason and will post pics of the final product when I get a chance.
Sorry for going slightly off topic but how necessary is it to use the spray that I've heard about? Is it essential for protecting the labels?

I ordered a sample pack of the River Poker Tour chips, and as much as I want to like them, I just can't. I love the looks of the 4 dual-color chips but they just feel too slick to me. They're definitely a softer type of slick than with the ABS dice chips, but I was expecting a grippy, softer feel like with my 13.5g stripe suited/double suited chips, which look worse but feel amazing.

i got 1000 of them for 23 cents ea. ($233.90 ship included) from vegassuppliesandgifts.com with the 20% promo coupon you can get floating around. Little better then overstocks price and I can choose the color quantity as well more colors to choose from.

I'm also thinking of getting some of these chips and have a sample that I'm playing with. The cheapest site I've found for these is https://www.discountcasinogear.com/.

I like my nexgens alright, they take labels well, the colors are attractive and they play/stack acceptably. They are a little slick for my taste, but not nearly like dice chips or whatever. They splash well and are easy to cut. I ordered from discountcasinogear but I would recommend 5stardeal instead. I found CS and shipping to be lacking from DCG.com. I love 5stars CS and the flat $20 shipping can't be beat.

If you don't need the security of custom chips, check out the ASM no edgespot chips from pokerchips.com. Much better quality just unoriginal and a bit boring.

edit: oh, check those ASM chips out because my nexgens + labels + racks + $30 case + shipping everything cost me $0.34/chip. You can get real clay non edgespots for $0.35 + ship.

$199 + $21 for shipping to Kansas City.
If you get 5 of the 200 chip sets, it's only $175 + $25 for shipping. Odd that the smaller sets are cheaper.
