Clueless on Chips -Please Help

Interesting. I always thought the casino chips I picked up for souvenirs in LV felt as heavy as the dice chip I have.

I'm sure someone has done this already, but it looks like a science experiment at work tomorrow!

Already done my man. I've found that casino chips are most frequently 10g to 10.5g. The whole "heavier is better" thing became a measuring stick when the Chinese 11.5g plastics flooded the market. That just happened to be the weight that they were made once they added the steel slugs to them, and suddenly everyone thinks that they need heavy chips or the chips are subpar.

It cracked me up when I brought my Chipcos over to a buddy's house, and he "weighed" one in his hand and said with a look of dismay, "Are these the full 11.5 grams?"
