i have been searching high and low for those real authentic casino-quality chips. i finally found them and found a decent set:

http://www.discountpokershop.c...?cPath=3&products_id=8

real clay, not composite and no metal filler. two color tones spotted, in an alumimum case with two WPT decks, dealer button, and 2 cut cards. apply the 5% coupon available on the website's main page and you are good to go. my total came to $306 after coupon and shipping and sales tax. for the guys outside california is would even cheaper.

PokerChips.com has some beautiful stuff but i don't want to wait 12 weeks =)
 
frys sells a similar set for a great price (made by maverick)....the chips are casino weight and they had a 300 piece set on sale for $40 with 5 dice 2 decks and a button
 
I'd rather have composite. Clay chips are much more susceptible to damage, even from everyday use. God help you if someone spills their beer in the pot. Clay dissolves in water. :shocked:
 

Well I disagree about the susceptiblety of clay chips, if the casino's use them they are pretty hardy. My intial thought was, why not just go to a casino or do and buy a bunch of dollar, 5$, etc chips and use them, when you are tired of poker and don't wanna play anymore, you can still cash them in.

:shocked: Wow, buy poker chips at face value? You's a high rolla if I ever saw one!
 
I hope you're joking. Clay chips, just like bricks, tablewear, and other clay products are fired in a kiln which fuses the particles together, and not only are they waterproof, but about the only way to destroy them in normal use would be breakage.
 
This is not much of a deal. I got a set of real clay chips (11.5 Grams each) for $100. $300 for a set is a rip off.

Soooo, the casinos use "real authentic clay" chips...
What kind of clay?!
That's like saying "real authentic metal"
I can assure you that both are equally ambiguous.

wtf are you talking about?!?!
 
Guess the story I read about clay chips was a lie then, or the person was mistaken about what they were made of. They were scratchable with a fingernail and melted slightly when they'd gotten wet.

Still a ripoff even if they're not fragile. 😛

Years ago, they were 'REAL' clay, not for a long time now, though.

You could hit up a $0.25 roulette table, buy a bunch of chips, and then leave. You would have a full selection of colors to choose from.
 
i found a 500 chip set for $50 at harbor freight tools...the same set at frys was $70

the chips seem to be 11.5 weight(very heavy) with 2 decks and 5 dice...this is a very hot deal if it is nation wide...i am in las vegas
