11.5 g Poker Chips. There is a difference.

Suited Chips

Royal Suited Chips

I've gotten a set of each of these chips, and there are some differences.
I don't know if these differences are specific to each dealer, or to each design.

Royal-Suited:
Each color stacks evenly (50 green same height as 50 red)
Hardly any paint problems. The colors were where they should be.
Very slick.
Very clanky sounding.
Very durable.
app 40mm in diameter.

Suited:
Whites and red stack evenly. Greens and black are thicker.
50 greens are almost same height as 51 white.
quality control on paint seems worse.
a little smear here and there. nothing major in my mind.
NOT SLICK at all. Much closer to clay. They're almost chalky.
Not as clanky sounding. They still have slug in them, but the softer texture of the outside gives it less "clank".
Probably not as durable as the harder, slicker version.
You can scratch these with your fingernail and make marks.
39.5 mm in diameter. Much closer to casino chip.

Although the quality control seems to be lacking with the Suited chips, I much prefer them to the Royal-Suited.
The slickness and clankiness of the Royal-Suited leaves no doubt you're playing with a plastic chip with a slug in it.

As a test to the slippery factor, I stacked 20 suited chips right beside 10 Royal-Suited. I put these on my card table, then began shaking the table. The 10 R.S. chips fell over and the 20 Suited weren't close to toppling. So I did 5 R.S. and 20 Suited. The 5 slid off and the 20 were still standing. R.S. is very slick. The Suited chips are chalky.

Our home game has been using the Royal-Suited chips for months, and everyone likes them. They've gotten many compliments. They are a big step up from the light plastic variety. But I think everyone will like the suited ones better.
Hope this rambling is beneficial to someone.

Cheers,
JTrout.

Strange. I just got out my suited chips. I have 200 red and blue as well as 50 green and yellow. I stacked them 50 high and found that the blue and the green stacked the same and were just slightly shorter than the red and yellow. Probably a little less than 1/2 the thickness of a chip.

pretty sure its the dealer. A friend of mine got the suited from 5stardeal.com and they are exactly how you described the royal suited from 5stardeal.com.

I bought my 11.5 gram suited chips from 5stardeal.
The white, black, and blue ones were non-slick and had imperfect (sorta smudged) suites.
the red and green ones were slick, but the suits were well formed.
I bought some more black ones, and this time they were slick.

So from experience, it's just what batch you get.
It looks like all of these chips are rejects. I would like to get non-slick chips with non-smudged suits, but that doesn't seem to be an option. I still like the chips alot though.
