Clay Poker Chips

If you're looking to take your game to the next level, only clay poker chips will do. These high quality clay chips are not cheap copies, they're the actual chips used in the casinos.

Reasons for clay
Clay chips are better than composite or plastic chips for a number of reasons. First, clay is smooth and easy to handle. They're also weighted to feel "right" in your hand. Clay is also the most durable chip and meant to last through thousands of games. Finally, cheap copies often have inconsistent colors and patterns. A quality set of clay chips will always have the consistency you expect from a professional set of chips.

Styles
When choosing poker chips, there are several patterns available. Many people choose suited or striped patterns. There are also a wide selection of specialty chips which reflect popular culture or favorite hobbies and interests. Some manufacturers also offer the option of customized chips. This is a great way to make sure you always leave home with all of your chips! Customized chips also make a great gift for the serious poker player in your life.

Values
There is no rule that says a certain color is assigned to a value. However, the following chip values are the most widely accepted: white chips are valued at $1; blue at $5; red at $10; green at $25 and black chips at $100. Chips come in sets of 300, 500, and 650 pieces. In most cases, you can choose how many of each chip you want in your set. Remember, the lower values are usually used the most throughout a game, so make sure to get plenty of these.

How heavy?
11.5 grams is the most popular chip weight. Most players agree that these chips are the most comfortable and easiest to handle. Some people prefer 8 gram chips, but it is entirely a matter of preference. 5 gram chips are also available.

Don't settle for less, only clay poker chips will ensure your poker game is the best it can be.
