This is a new version of the popular NexGen poker chips that feature a label with denominations. The denomination is shown in both numerals and words with a dollar currency sign. Denominations range from $1 to $100,000 and there is also a blank chip with a stylized 'P'. Both sides of the chip are identical.

These NexGen chips weigh in at a little over 9 grams compared with the other NexGen chips at 13.5 grams. They are printed on a new Chinese mold and have a similar feel as the other NexGens, but maybe a bit less slick.

Sample sizes were 39.76, 39.86, 39.87, 39.86, 39.99, 39.99, 40.14, 40.03, 40.04, and 40.02mm. Ten chips stacked together was 33.40mm high (3.34mm per chip). Sample weights were 9.04, 9.06, 9.04, 9.21, 9.37, 9.18, 9.01, 8.82, 8.87, and 8.83 grams.

These chips are a good option for poker hosts looking for a good, but cheap poker chip with labels and denominations. Other NexGen chips do not feature labels and many people have resorted to purchasing the blank NexGen chips and then sticking their own customized label on. There is now no need to do this since these chips cost only one cent more than the NexGen chips without labels. For the money, these are very nice chips.

This is the newest version of the NexGen poker chip, the NexGen 3-tone (8300). The NexGen line of poker chips is a popular low-cost poker chip, especially for players who wish to place their own customized labels on a less expensive set of poker chips. The NexGen 3-tone poker chips feature a larger center insert area than the previous versions of the NexGen. The recessed center area is now 32mm (1.25 inches) in diameter instead of the 26mm (1 inch) of the previous NexGen poker chips.

These NexGen chips feel a bit thinner than the previous NexGen chips, they also feel somewhat less substantial. They feel slicker and more slippery and don't seem to stack as well as the older chips. They have more of a plastic feel to them than previous NexGen poker chips. There is less surface area on these chips due to the larger insert area. This means that they do not stack as well as the previous versions of the NexGen, which weren't all that great to begin with!

The NexGen3 chips come in the standard seven poker chip colors. The edge spot colors are very nice, they contrast well, and are much nicer than the previous versions of NexGen. Like the previous versions, there is some blotching of the base color and there is also some color transfer from one chip to another - you might get some red smudges on your white chip.

Sample weights were 13.52, 13.51, 13.44, 13.33, 13.70, 13.54, and 13.37 grams. Sample diameters were 40.02, 40.03, 40.06, 40.06, 40.01, 40.06, and 40.04mm. Seven chips stacked together was 23.63mm in height.

These chips are about 20¢ each, on par with other NexGen chips. If you are looking for a larger center insert area on a NexGen chip, these chips might be for you!

Here is a Nevada Jacks poker plaque that matches the Nevada Jacks poker chip set. Unlike the chips, the plaque has a very smooth ceramic finish. The highest Nevada Jacks poker chip denomination is $5,000 so these plaques would make a welcome addition to any set of Nevada Jacks chips.

The plaque measures 85.53 x 53.51 x 3.5mm, weighs 40.65 grams, and costs $7.95. You can purchase them separately or in groups of ten.
