A worthy investment?
I'm looking to purchase a custom set of clay chips. I'm currently leaning towards www.thepokerchipcompany.com. Does anyone have any comments to make about their #1006 chips? Here is a link... http://www.thepokerchipcompany.com/C...style_1006.htm
On their main page they show close ups of these chips and I noticed a small bump on this particular chip. Does that spot mean these chips are not true clay chips, althought the site claims they are, or does it mean something else? http://www.thepokerchipcompany.com/cents50lrg.jpg Much thanks to anyone with an answer or information! |

The only chips that I've run across that have dice on the edges are plastic, or are plastic with meta slugs embedded.

Re: A worthy investment?
i have a sample of those chips, they are pretty good, sound and feel ALMOST like all clay, but I also have a sample of all clay chips... http://www.casinosupply.com/Merchant...tegory_Code=UC
but these cost extra to stamp. however when i put both of them in my hand they feel pretty similar. hope this helps. |

Re: A worthy investment?
I bought one set of the composite chips from 5stardeal on ebay and liked them so much I bought another set. Yes, they are plastic with a slug in the middle but for a set of five hundred its only about $100-$110 including shipping for the set. These are good chips and really are all you need for a home game. However, if you have some disposable income, than I would invest in the clay chips.

I agree with Jonnyv. I bought mine from 5startdeal and they were great. Unless your playing high stakes and or charging a rake I wouldn't blow all that money on chips.

Call them and they'll send you a sample.
For the money, I think that these chips are fantastic and are much nicer than the 11.5g "clay" chips that are otherwise available. Even for a low-stakes game (.5/$1, $1/$2), I'd say that the extra investment is well worth it. Good rule of thumb: Don't spend more per chip than the value of the chip. i.e. don't spend $1 for a chip with a $.25 denomination. I recently ordered, but haven't yet received, a set of the #1003 chips. My only comment on the #1006 chips is why would you want dice on your poker chips? |

If money is no object...
Home Poker Chips - Custom Chips I host a weekly game. I purchased a set of these and I'm completely satisfied. I had 2 other sets of chips, but was always worried about people cashing out their own chips (I had a few extras). These are completely secure... Noone else can purchase your chips. They are ProTech chips (same chips that are used in most of the newer casinos). |
