About Clay Poker Chips

Most pro and amateur players demand high quality clay poker chips. To set the record straight, there really isn't such thing as a pure clay poker chip, at least not of any use to anyone. Pure clay poker chips will break easily and are easy to scratch and water or even the sweath from players' hands can ruin them. For this reason alone, all clay poker chips are a composite of clay with some other material, typically plastics or ceramic, hence the name clay composite. We carry a number of clay poker chips and ABS poker chips in a variety of designs and color choices and with prices starting as little as a few pennies per chip and going up to even $1 per chip.

Clay poker chips have the feel and sound of real casino chips and are clearly preferred by most players. Most clay poker chips do not have a metal insert and weigh anywhere from 7 to 10 grams per chip. Casinos in the United States typically use 10 gram chips for most of their table games and poker rooms, and lighter weight chips for roulette tables. ABS chips, or high quality plastic chips, typically have a metal insert for added weight and the 11.5 gram variety has become the most popular weight in the USA. Although low in price, most ABS 11.5 gram chips we offer are of high quality ABS and offer a great alternative and the feel and sound of a casino chip at an affordable price to poker enthusiasts. .
