New Jackpot Casino coin inlaid chip - any opinion?

[chipper57AA]

I was browsing around on 5stardeal and found they had a new line of 12.2 gram coin inlaid chips available for .28 each (less with discount). On the inlay they have "Jackpot Casino - Las Vegas" on them. They look nice. I ordered a sample of 1 of each of the 7 colors today (with denominations on them).

Anyone gotten any of these yet? Wondered what your opinion was of them. Do they stack well? Do they sound like the cheap 11.5g metal-insert chips?

Also, does anyone know who manufactures them?

For that price, it's somewhere in China.

Personally, I still prefer Bud Jones (non coin-inlayed) chips over clay or other chips. I guess I preferred something that can take the abuse. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

hey man, i have a few real bud jones' and i played with the ones you linked with tonight...i like them much more than your average 11.5g, but they are pretty slick and really light. have a more plastic sound...no real "clink". i'd choose them over suits/diamonds. ask me any questions you want about them.

have you got them yet? thinking about picking up a set myself. like the retro style, and that price is pretty amazing

No samples yet. I'll probably get them in early next week. I'll post my review of them when they get in.

5stardeal.com still doesn't offer any chip sets for this yet but should soon I imagine.

If anyone's interested I can get them for $.24 a chip. Just let me know exactly what you're looking for.

Not a terrible looking chip overall.

Nice for the price Id say..

I just got my chip samples in today. Got them the same day as my NexGen samples. Here's my first impression:

Nice! They seem to be close to the quality of some real casino coin inlaid chips that I have in my collection. When you pick them up, they feel very light weight (compared to the NexGen chips that is). The chips themselves are a bit slippery when stacked. I put a stack of the 7 different color samples on a table and bumped the table. They did not stay together. So if you're big into stacking you won't like them as much.

Overall though, the quality of the chips are decent. I noticed though, when I held these chips up to a bright light that I could see through a couple of them on the colored parts. The orange and pink chips especially. You could see the injection part inside the chip.

The sound is good too. When splashed it does not have a metalic click like the 11.5g cheapos out there. I compared them to an actual Lady Luck $2.50 chip I have and the quality and feel are almost identical. Nice job whoever makes em.

After comparing them to the NexGen chips, it was a hard choice to choose between them. I ended up ordering the NexGens though. Reason: I like the colors better on the NexGen, they stack better, I didn't like denominations cuz I like flexibility to choose.

My poker group primarily plays 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 games but I couldn't envision having a set of mostly pink, grey and purple chips. Sure, I could have ordered the $25 green, 50c grey and $100 black and pretend the $ was cents but heh, I liked the NexGens better.

Definitely worth looking at if you are a fan of coin inlaid chips. Overall a good weight and feel, albeit a bit slippery. Some of the edges were a bit rough due to manufacturing process but they were able to be smoothed with a fingernail.

Anyone else examine these yet?

Also noticed that 5stardeal had a set of 500 you can order now. Bet more sets will be available soon.
