Real Clay or Composite
There’s really no such thing as a “real” clay
Poker chips anymore.
Certainly not in use in the casinos—they break too easily and cost too much
to use everyday! The “clay” poker
chips used here in Vegas are made by Paulson's. They weigh 10 grams each,
and have about 15% clay. Their average life is short, for they wear out in 3
years or less due to the softness. They cost about $1.08 each to make, plus
art work. Casinos use them because they have many built in security measures,
like the embossed hat/cane you see around the edge that our home use imports
don't have. We are pleased to offer a variety of Poker
chips-from the 11.5 gram clay and acrylic composition Poker
chips, to "real clay" Poker
chips like the old-time casino chips...to the lighter,composition Poker
chips that are just right for the beginner-or the large casino night you're
planning! All the Poker
Chips shown here are 11.5 grams, unless otherwise marked. Casino Poker
Chips are 10 grams.
