Clay poker chips come in many styles, varieties and weights.When most people talk about a clay poker chips they do notrealize that it is a term left over from the game players ofold. While the tokens used to be made of clay, in modern casinoswhat the chips are made of is really a mixture of materialscalled a composite clay accessory. Because of the lack ofstrength and expense of mass production, pure clay tokens are athing of the past. Since gambling is a business and casinos areinto making big money, the efficiency of making a composite claychip along with its durability is seeing the past fade away.
The reason most gamblers prefer custom clay poker chip sets isbecause of the quality feel. There is a certain sound made by achip made of clay and a heavier feel than the often disrespectedplastic gaming pieces. There is also the artistic side of customclay poker accessories, and clay material tokens are some of themost varied and beautiful to be found. You can get 1, 2 and 3color clay chips and the design limitations are up to your cashflow.
Now even though its hard to find a pure clay chip set out there,you can still find high quality gaming pieces that sport amixture of high impact polymers (plastic) and clay (or kaolin asit is sometimes called). Most of the chips you find in thecasino are of this variety and are 39mm in diameter with aweight between 8 grams and 11.5 grams. Today's clay casino chipsare unique in design and composite to each individual casino.The effect of the increased security and high traffic flow hasled to the design of some truly collectable chips.
You can personalize clay chips by changing the body mold, edgespot and denomination colors. If you really want to impress thehigh rollers with your custom poker chips, you are going to gofor non-metal inserts. This is an indicator of the level of claythat will be in your chips. Obviously if they put a chunk ofmetal in, there is less room for clay and the standard goesdown.
