Poker Chip Weight: Light or Heavy

Poker Chip Weight... Sounds strange for a beginner, right? Especially if you think that the article will consider various weight loss courses. Nope, no weight loss or gain programs. The main aim of this article is to find out what poker chip weights can be and what is the best in casinos.

You must have heard different opinions concerning the right poker chip weight. Frankly speaking the lighter chip, the better. This is a common rule. But limits can be seen everywhere. That's why don't go from one extreme to the other. Too heavy is bad, and too light is no good. An average poker chip weight is about 9 or 10 grams.

In the US casinos it's 8 or 10 gram poker chip weights that are preferred. But when you buy a set for your home usage you can be offered to buy a 13,5 gram piece. A poker chip weight depends on a manufacturer and stuff chips are made from. If it is plastic then chips will be relatively light, but   in case you want to add some weight to your light poker chips you can buy a very heavy chip case.  Just an alternative!

Some poker chip manufactures in order to make poker chips cheaper add lead. This results in chips being not that expensive as composite or clay poker chips, and they weigh up to 13 grams or even more.

There is another point to add. This is about colors and pictures or labels on chips. If you want to order personalized poker chips, keep in mind that if you order 400 poker chips, they will be of four colors, if you choose a 500 chip set, then there will be chips colored in five different ways. In general each one hundred chips will be differently colored. But if you want to make your personalized poker chips even more featured, you can put some funny images on them. But remember that no pictures of famous players are legal. If the opposite  hasn't been specified. So you can't present your friend who is a Modern Talking fan with a poker chip set with the band's pictures. As this can violate its copyrights. But there is no similar restrictions on poker chip weights limiting you!
