Poker has been one of the most famous casino games for decades. The game requires a little skill, luck and plenty of experience and it is the level of challenge presented by the game which makes it so popular among players worldwide. Best poker chips have been around probably as long as the game has been in existence. Though in the earlier days the game had been played with just about anything, soon there was a need for using a standard currency equivalent at the tables and with that the poker chips had been introduced.
Best poker chips
In casinos poker is no longer played with chips made from 100% pure clay. Pure clay chips are very delicate and can break easily. In the 1950s clay chips were replaced by the composite clay chips where a few materials were added to the clay to make it more cost effective and to make it more durable.
The edge spots or the inserts are actually not painted but they are punched out and then replaced with the clay of desired colors after which they are molded and compressed to get the end product. In US most casinos, like iGame poker, use poker chips which are anywhere between 8 to 11g and rarely more than that. However, for home use the best poker chips which are used are significantly different from those which are used in casinos.
Clay chips, used mostly in casinos, are the most expensive type of chips available and generally are regarded as the best quality chips. These chips are made using a compression molding process where unique designs can be molded right into the chip. Apache Poker Chips has been operating in Las Vegas since 1999. Being located in Las Vegas gives us the opportunity to play with and review all new products as soon as they become available. We sell the same chips and cards used at the top Casinos around the world. Nevada Jack manufactures ceramic poker chips for both casino and home use, and these 10-gram chips, each with their signature hat-wearing skull in the inlay, all resting comfortably in a black mahogany case (it could easily be mistaken for a cigar humidor, or maybe a casket for a marionette) are just the right stuff for your next poker party.
Home poker chips
The chips are used for poker in casinos and at home are quite different from each other. In casinos mostly composite clay chips are used for casinos which weigh from 8 to 11g but the home poker chips usually weigh more than that at around 13.5 g. Choosing home poker chips is not very difficult since they are available at almost all grocery shops, markets and even at airports.
Home poker chips are quite inexpensive and are usually made from plastic with a metal disc in the center in order to increase its weight. The type of poker chips to be purchased depends on the taste and the budget of the customer and while there are several inexpensive home poker chips available these are usually not of a very good quality.
Purchasing home poker chips
Home poker chips can be bought in sets of 200, 300 and even in 500 chips. The best option is to purchase an entire set which will include poker chips, a protective case for storing the chips, dealer button, poker dice and 2 decks of cards.
High Quality Poker Chips
The ideal number of poker chips which need to be purchased will depend on the number of players that would be playing the game and the combination of denominations should depend on the limits that will be played with the chips. It is recommended that at least four different denominations should be purchased for the game.

Given below is a list of the number of chips that would be needed according to the number of players:

You will find that clay chips stack better than composite poker chips, beacause they are less slippery. The chips with graphics have a label inlay on them. These label inlays are recessed into the face of the chip, unlike ceramic poker chips, which the graphics are part of the chip.
All clay poker chips have some percentage of composite materials in them. The composite materials give the chip strength. A 100% pure clay chip would be extremely brittle and easy to break. Even our casino grade poker chips which have a higher percentage of clay can be broken in half, if you try to break them.
Generally, the more expensive a clay chip costs, the higher the percentage of clay it is made with. It is more complex to manufacturer chips with a higher clay content.
Weight has nothing to do with quality. Our highest quality chips are the 10 gram chips. The weight of a chip is is purely personal preference. Our most popular chips are the heavier 14 gram clay chips.
