| Casino Vs. Recreational Poker Chips: E-Poker-Chips.com Sets the Record Straight |
Casino and recreational (plastic) poker chips are two very common, and different, types of poker chips. Casino chips are produced by an extremely limited number of bonded companies all located within the US. Each casino has a unique secret blend composition used to mold their chips; this is one of the primary defenses to prevent counterfeiting. The chips are injection molded with copyrighted designs in manufacturing facilities that have security that rivals the US mint.
www.E-Poker-Chips.com explains that most modern casino chips are a synthetic polymer acrylic composite with a laminated center. The only avenue available to acquire real casino chips is to buy them from the casino at face value or from a reseller that will usually include a hefty mark-up. Casino chips vary slightly in weight, however most weight in around 10g.
Plastic chips are the most common recreational gaming chip option and can be purchased almost anywhere. You can find extremely cheap chips sold at supermarkets in the toy aisle to heavy solid plastic chips that can weight as much as 7g. Plastic chips do not offer much in the way of security and are easily damaged. They lack the look and heft of composite chips and tend to tinkle when splashing the pot. Plastic chips are good for people who might be new to poker (or other games that use markers) or people who have a very limited budget.
As with composite chips, its important to request samples of the chips you are considering. Most reputable vendors will send a chip sample if you send a self addressed stamped envelope. Bicycle manufacturers two sets of plastic chips that come in travel cases: the Poker Portfolio (approx. $15 to $20) includes 300 chips and 2 decks of cards; the Poker Attache (approx. $27.50 to $32.50) includes 500 chips, 2 decks of cards, and a dealer button.
