Clay and clay composite chips are what most casinos and professional organizations use for their poker chips. This is because they are affordable, durable and secure. All clay poker chips are in fact not 100% made of clay. They are a combination of various materials. Each manufacturer has a different formula and these are closely guarded secrets to ensure there is no risk of counterfeiting.
The most recognizable clay composite poker chips are:
Suited clay poker chips
Royal suited
Deluxe pyramid
Super diamond
Clay dice poker chips
Tri-Color
Clay poker composite chips weight under 8 grams. They can also be bought in 11.5 gram, 13 gram and 14 gram types depending on your preference. Most clay composite poker chips have a metal insert in the center of them which give them the clinking sound when they are dropped. If you hold a magnet to the chip and it sticks, then it has this metal insert.
You can purchase 100, 300, 500, 1000 and other denominations of clay poker chip sets. Generally the more you buy the cheaper it becomes per chip. Clay composite chips can be bought from as low as 10c each. However it will depend on the type of clay chip you purchase as to the price of them.
Clay chips are more expensive than plastic poker chips but they also provide a host more benefits than plastic poker chips. All the casinos use clay composite chips such as composite ceramic as they are very difficult to forge and are extremely durable.
The only disadvantage I can see to clay composite chips is that they are difficult to do tricks with. However if you are not into tricks at all then this is not a concern and most people are more than happy with clay composite poker chips.
Whether you are new to poker or are a tournament pro, you will get a lot of out clay poker chips sets. They last forever and the tri-color variety is very comparable to casino grade chips such as Paulson poker chips.
