You can find some really great sets on ebay if you shop around. Just remember that poker chip sets aren't light so expect to pay a bit in shipping. Ebay is a great way to get a unique set for a decent price. |

Thanks, I have been shopping around for a couple days, learning whats 'good' etc. I have a Prime Amazon account so I am able to get free shipping on certain items. I was just curious if there is any experience with certain budget brands, or a specific set that stood out as a great deal. I trust the folks here to find the good stuff over the Amazon reviewers who may not know the difference between chip quality. |

| MathExtremist Member since: Aug 31, 2010 Threads: 46 Posts: 2519 | Standard casino chips are almost always 10g. 13.5g is a common weight for injection molded composite chips with metal slugs. Unless you think regular casino chips are too light, 13.5g is going to be too heavy for you. I'd do some reading: http://www.pokerchipreviews.com/ http://www.chiptalk.net/ "In my own case, when it seemed to me after a long illness that death was close at hand, I found no little solace in playing constantly at dice."

Thanks, I ordered the King's Casino sample set. I sure am glad I stumbled upon the sample sets, since there isnt a good variety of good reviews on some chips. |

| s2dbaker Member since: Jun 10, 2010 Threads: 34 Posts: 1215 | I ended up getting the heavy chips from BryBelly. Look this up on Amazon, it's about $50 with shipping which is pretty awesome for Chinese crap: 500 Silver Eagle Poker Chip Set with Free WPT Rule Book. 14 Gram Heavy Weighted Poker Chips. |

| stinky Member since: Jun 17, 2011 Threads: 0 Posts: 13 | Man I got a problem. I ordered a few samples. Then started reading on Chiptalk, and now I feel like the money spent of the samples is wasted, since they seem to prefer the China Clay chips for budget chips. I pretty much found opinions on my samples and generally arent great. I'll have to convince the wife to allow me a little more $$$ for some Desert Palms or Pharoh's. |

Go for the heavy ones, even if you're not used to them. You won't regret it, they feel great. Incidentally, the lightest real casino chips I ever held were the 25c at Crown Casino in Melbourne Australia - they almost float out of your hand! If nothing will change then I am nothing. |

| stinky Member since: Jun 17, 2011 Threads: 0 Posts: 13 | Just ordered the Pharoah's Club Clay's. Got a deal for $160 for a 500 set. Got the King's casino sample today and they are horrible. Very bad QC on those, the extra money is worth it. |
