Poker chip costs
Why are poker chips so expensive? There are a variety of different poker chip styles available; ranging from the cheap poker chips made of plastic to the professional clay chips used by the professionals. The cost of the chip will depend on a variety of variables, including: the weight of the chip, number of chips available in the set and the materials used to form the chip.

It should also be noted that the design of the poker chip can also make an impact on the final price of a set. Most poker chips are multi-colored and feature patterns of a specific suit around the outer edge. The flashiest of the chips may not always be made of the best material, but will almost certainly merit a higher price when there is extreme demand for the product.

What are clay composite poker chips?
You will probably recognize the phrase "clay composite" if you have ever gone shopping for poker chips. What exactly is a clay composite poker chip? The simple answer is that the poker chip is made only partially of clay and supplemented by other plastic-like materials to form the chip.

The difference between the two is mainly cost. Clay poker chips and clay poker chip sets are very much available, but will cost slightly more than the average composite poker chip.

How many poker chips should I have?
