Clay Poker Chips

What Are Clay Poker Chips?

100% clay poker chips are made entirely from clay, without the blended materials or metal inserts used in clay composite chips. That gives them a softer, slightly textured surface that grips well in a stack and feels great when you riffle or shuffle chips. They're lighter than most clay composite chips, which is part of their appeal: each chip feels smooth and natural in your hand, with a classic look that sets your table apart.

Clay vs. Clay Composite Poker Chips

The biggest differences are feel, weight, and price. 100% clay chips have a soft, textured feel and weigh 10 to 11 grams in our lineup. Clay composite poker chips are firmer and tougher, weigh up to 14 grams with a metal insert, and cost less per roll. Choose clay if you want a premium, collector-style set. Choose clay composite if you want heavier chips or a lower price for a large set.

Caring for Clay Poker Chips

Because 100% clay is softer than clay composite, a little care keeps your chips looking their best. Store them in a poker chip case or tray between games, avoid dropping stacks onto hard surfaces, and wipe them with a soft, dry cloth when needed.

Clay Poker Chips FAQ

Are clay poker chips better than clay composite?

It depends on what you want. 100% clay chips have a softer, more textured feel that many players and collectors prefer. Clay composite chips are heavier, tougher, and more affordable. Both make a great home game set.

Why are clay poker chips lighter than clay composite chips?

Our 100% clay chips don't have the metal insert found in our 13.5- and 14-gram clay composite chips, so they weigh 10 to 11 grams instead. The lighter weight is part of their classic feel.

Are your clay poker chips really 100% clay?

Yes. Milano, Phoenix, and Jupiter Club are all 100% clay poker chips.

What poker chip case fits clay poker chips?

Milano and Phoenix are standard 39mm chips, so they fit our standard poker chip cases and trays. Jupiter Club chips are 43mm and fit the 500 Count Oversized 43mm Poker Chip Case and the 100 Count Oversized 43mm Poker Chip Tray with Lid. See all of our poker chip cases.

How many clay poker chips do I need?

Plan on 300 chips, or 12 rolls, for a game of about 6 players, and 500 to 600 chips, or 20 to 24 rolls, for 8 to 10 players. Tournaments and two-table games usually call for about 1,000 chips, or 40 rolls.
