What are Clay Poker Chips made with?
Myth #1 - Clay Poker Chips are all clay
There are NO clay poker chips that are pure clay
All clay poker chips have some percentage of composite materials in them. The composite materials give the chip strength. A 100% pure clay poker chip would be extremely brittle and easy to break. Even our casino grade poker chips can be broken in half if you try to break them.
Generally, the more expensive a clay poker chip costs, the higher the percentage of clay it is made with. It is more complex to manufacturer chips with a higher clay content.
Myth #2 - The heavier the chip the higher the quality
Most casino chips weigh about 10 grams
Weight has nothing to do with quality. The weight of a chip is is purely personal prefence. Our most popular chips are the heavier 14g clay chips. The 15g clay poker chips are the heaviest chip that is currently available.
All clay chips that weigh more than 11.5 grams have a metal insert in them to give them their weight. The larger the weight the heavier the chip.
Myth #3 - The heavier the chip the bigger it is
All clay chips are very close to the same size
All of our clay chips are either 39mm of 40mm in diameter. The thickness of most of the chips are the same too.
