Thank you. The Bud Jones chips were slightly oversized from the Paulson chips and did not stack well for the dealers. All Bud Jones chips have been taken off the tables, accounted for and sent for destruction. This included destruction of the 50th Anniversary chips ($5 & $25), $5 Pitbull and $5 Billy Joel issues.
bro I used to get down to some Pitbull.
And Billy Joel is always a go to.
And Billy Joel is always a go to.
I'm ready to believe you, but without any apparent manumark, how do you know this? I ask because manufacturer is not noted on ChipGuide and I would like to correct that.
Thanks, Jim

@GamingOre just like with clay chips, based on the mold. This chip is the X-21 series, pic from their catalogue.

According to AI:
Nevada Gaming Chip (NGC) does NOT manufacture casino chips — even though their catalog looks like a chip manufacturer’s catalog
Why the confusion happens
The NGC catalog (the PDF and the website tab) displays:- “Models” of chips
- “Options”
- “Edge inserts”
- “Custom inlays”
- “Security features”
- “Order forms”
But here’s the key:
They buy chips from actual manufacturers (Paulson, Bud Jones, Matsui, Blue Chip, etc.) and then resell them to casinos, often with custom artwork.
Think of them like a dealership, not the factory.
Nevada Gaming Chip (NGC)
Distributor / reseller / catalog publisher- Shows “models” because they offer design templates
- Orders chips from the real manufacturers on behalf of casinos
- Provides artwork, customization, and procurement
- Publishes the collector catalog (NGC numbers)
Even in the catalog you’re viewing:
- The chip molds shown are Paulson / GPI molds
- The materials listed match Paulson or Matsui specs
- No proprietary mold names
- No mention of their own factory
- No manufacturing facility address
- No patents or production certifications
- Mold patents
- Material composition
- Security technology
- Factory location
- Production tolerances
So what exactly does NGC sell to casinos?
They sell:- Chip design packages
- Custom artwork
- Ordering services
- Bulk procurement
- Chip program management
Bottom line
NGC does sell chips to casinos, just not ones they manufacture themselves.They are a middleman, not a maker.

Direct from the catalog - here is a pic of Nevada Gaming Chip's high tech production facility! 
Those are injection molding machines on the tables.
Also their high security labeling operation.

You will get an answer, but it's accuracy will always be in doubt.
Chipping pre-dates the internet. If you want to know the truth, you need books, brochures, and historians.

Mostly you get pAIrrot answers, just repeating anything it can find.
But it’s pretty close to human intelligence. We mishear, misreport, lie, fudge data, assume outlandish positions on topics, confirm bias and add supplemental details regularly in our day to day. GIGO programming.

So literally everything I’ve done for work over the last year should be reviewed?…
Nah…gunna let it ride.
Everything YOU have done? There are things I would use AI for but curated and checked.

The irony of this statement being the AI's haymaker is wonderful.

AI is incredibly inaccurate and out of date and should always be verified.
It even admits it itself.

Are you saying it’s about as good as a dartboard? This is the thing that’s going to replace humans?
Cracks me up the hysteria. Not you just generally.

So what about these chips. Who has them?

Sorry for the continued derail, but I think a robot would probably view our custom of giving flowers as “ripping the genitals off the living thing and putting them on public display until they wither, thus denying it the ability to reproduce”. When programming you’d have to specify which living things that was ok to do to and which not I’d think?

I'm saying I work with it every day at my job and use it successfully as a tool for scripting and troublehooting, but when it comes to information gathering it is nowhere near a real-time information pool and will very often give outdated information.
You have to explicitly state you want it to dig deeper and make sure it's information is up to date.
