Beyond that they usually vary. I've seen 1,000 in either orange or yellow. 5,000's either pink or grey, and some 10k and 25k chips pink or grey. Those were all tournament chips though. To my understanding, cash chips are all one color everywhere in the US. . This set of five European-style rectangular poker plaques are a great addition to any poker game.

There is a lot of confusion, and misinformation out there about the weight of real casino poker chips. When someone is looking to invest in a high quality set of poker chips, many times they want to try to get as close to the real thing as possible. Some like heavier chips, like some of the 14 gram sets, because they feel good and substantial and are readily available at good prices. Others, want to get true casino weight chips, although most of the time they don't really know what that is.

The answer will surprise most people. There is a general feeling out there that the 11.5 gram chips are the closest to true casino chip weight, but this is simply not true. The truth is that most Las Vegas casinos use chips that you would consider light. Would you be surprised if I said that many top-name casinos use chips that weigh about 10 grams? Well, it's true. Here's a quick breakdown from a few years ago:

There are a few things you may notice from this data. The first is that the weight is probably lighter than you expected. In many cases, when we talk to a customer about 10 gram chips, their first reaction is almost always 'They're too light!'. Well, as you can see, this is actually what the real casinos use.

Official Casino Chip Weight

OK, wait for it. The answer to the question 'What is the official casino poker chip weight?' is... There is none. That's right, there is no official weight. I know, you're probably devastated, but it will be alright. Many people have believed that 11.5 grams was the official weight. This is obviously not true. This myth was most likely started by the chip manufacturers and dealers years ago. The old home-quality poker chips were simply made of plastic with a metal slug. This metal slug brought the weight up to 11.5 grams. Coincidence? Probably not.

The reality is that real casinos use whatever chips they want, and for whatever reasons they want. One consideration may be that the lighter the chips are, the easier they are to handle, store and transport. Another issue may be in manufacturing costs. Less weight = less material. Other reasons may be aesthetic, or simple tradition and preference.

So, What chips should I Buy?

You are most likely asking this question for a reason. You probably want to buy a set of high quality poker chips. What should you buy? Easy, buy what you like. There is no reason to get caught up in the whole 'official' weight controversy, unless that is truly important to you. Here are a few things to consider:

  1. A lighter chip set is easier to carry, especially if you will be transporting them often.
  2. High quality clay composite chips are available in a variety of weights. Look for a pleasing design and make sure the chips are of high quality and you will be happy.
  3. Don't be afraid of ceramic chips. As you can see above, many casinos use ceramic poker chips.
  4. Buy what you like, in the end that's all that matters anyway.

Grey Poker Chip Value

Poker ChipsApril 12, 2018
Reviewer: McKinley Hamby from Charles Town, WV United States
Ordered seven different colors of chips with custom printing on one side and standard denominations on the other. Web sites says to expect two to three weeks for delivery. Placed order on an Easter Sunday, had the chips in hand that following Wednesday. Also, I guess as part of the proofing process, they had to run off a few samples, got those as well. So for five of the seven colors, got a few extra.
