GamingJewels.com, a subsidiary of Gold-Nuggets.org, premiered a new invention to the gaming industry at the 2001 Global Gaming Expo and World Gaming Congress. They will again be on display at the Global Gaming Expo in September 2002.
Under the trademarks of "The Next Casino Chips" and "The Next Casino Tokens," our booths displayed the next generation of casino chips and tokens.
What is new about these chips and tokens is that they offer casino patrons a new level of excitement in their gaming pieces. Each Next Chip, and each Next Token, has an 18-millimeter see-through capsule in the middle of the piece that contains real Australian gold nuggets or other precious metals, or cut and polished genuine gemstones. These gaming jewels move and emit an exciting sound as they are moved!
Gemstones for each birthstone are available, so a casino might change their gaming pieces every month to keep up with patron interest in taking home souvenirs from their visit.
Casinos may denominate these Next Chips and tokens as they wish. In the future the casino patron would receive a carat of gemstones in their "Next Chip" to play with, or take home. This is an exciting advancement over the usual plain piece of plastic or metal gaming piece.
Market surveys show that these gemstones, when purchased from jewelry stores, would normally cost in the hundreds of dollars when set into a piece of jewelry.
All of the gemstones will be available, some at higher denomination levels. Expect to see emeralds, sapphires, rubies, pearls, opals, zircon and all the rest of the stones. Several qualities of diamonds will even be available (or white sapphires for those casinos not catering to the high roller crowd).
It is anticipated that the Next Chips and Tokens will stimulate floor action, and result in a strong increase in the casino's bottom line from these "take home souvenirs." It is easy to imagine the excitement of the gaming crowd upon seeing GamingJewels in their hands for the first time.
A line of novelties that move are also planned for these capsules, to more personalize the Chip and Token line. These gaming pieces can be custom tailored to a guest's interests. Chips and tokens in the future will incorporate casino logos, help celebrate holidays / conventions / concerts, be tailored to ethnic goups, and contain good luck wishes.
The first prototypes of the Next Casino Chips and Tokens were displayed at our booth at the Global Gaming Expo and the World Gaming Congress shows in October 2001. They will again be on display at the Global Gaming Expo in September 2002.
The "Next Tokens" are being struck by Nevada Coin Minting of Las Vegas, who will produce production runs of tokens for GamingJewels for use in the casino industry.
The prototype of the invention has been test marketed at a number of conventions with the general public. To date, the reaction to the concept has been 100% positive.
Thousands of people have seen the prototypes. When seen, the ladies want to touch them, and the gentlemen want to buy them!
We have more prototypes online, as well as model art work available for media use. Please contact us for availability and more information.
