Description of New Premium Set of 500 11.5 Gram Diamond Suited Poker Chips W/6 Dealer Buttons, Cards, & Dice
These premium poker chips are of much higher quality than other typical 11.5 gram chips like the dice or suited designs you see in the market. Look at these chips closely and you will see that the Ace King design on the chips are not just a print like other chips. They are part of the mold and are engraved in the chip. These professional grade chips are made of a High Quality ABS Composite Resin with a metal insert for added weight. Each 11.5 gram chip is made to specifications and is perfectly balanced to give the proper effect. The strong New All Aluminum reinforced case has space for 2 decks of playing cards, 500 chips, and 5 dice, all included.Sports reviews of New Premium Set of 500 11.5 Gram Diamond Suited Poker Chips W/6 Dealer Buttons, Cards, & Dice
Customer Review: Great Value
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Note they changed chips for this product. The review below is NOT for Diamond Suited Chips. It is for "Las Vegas" chips with stickers.
If you are considering buying this set then it immediately rules out that you are after top of the line chips like Paulsons or Chipco that cost over a dollar per chip. You want a decent chip without paying a lot of money. Well, on that front this set really delivers. You will never confuse their looks, feel, or sound with top quality chips, but you will also find these chips perform well above just about any of the metal insert ABS chips and nearly equal to most other home game chips.
Size: These chips are slightly undersized (38mm?) in diameter compared to most 39mm poker chips; noticeable to many hard core players, but easy to get over.
Weight: At 9 grams, these are lighter chips than most home sets, but much closer to real poker chips. I actually prefer this weight.
Sound: No 'clink' like a metal insert chip (yeah!). More of a deeper sounding 'clack' on par with some clay chips; not as high of a 'click' as with other clay chips. Overall sound is good.
Sticker: If you do not mind the cartoonish styling and want chips with denominations, this makes a good set. The double-sided glossy stickers are adhered very good (although some glue squeeze-out occurred between some chips in their wrapper). Also, they do not have dollar signs or decimal points so you can use them for larger games if you like (100 = $100,000, 5 = $5,000, etc.)
Chip Handling/Tricks: The chips stack very well. You can move a stack of 25 easily around the table without them falling. I would not consider their stacking edges 'slippery' like many other home chips. For tricks however the glossy sticker is slippery and is a detriment by making it more difficult to hold and control them during cutting, shuffling and other tricks. They do not have that annoying rubbery bounce like some other chips.
Clones: Note that there are many "Welcome to Las Vegas" look-a-like chips like these (with 4, 6, and 8 double edge stripes). I am not sure if anyone of them is considered the 'original' design or not. Regardless, these chips with 6 sets of double edge stripes are quite nice. They also have one diamond edge spot on the rim between each set of stripes. I prefer these chips over the 8 double stripe variety samples I've seen. I have not sampled the 4 double stripe variety.
Case: The case is adequate, but I do not trust the latches to hold a full case of chips in an upright state. I carry and store it flat (horizontally).
Bottom Line: Great value in a home set. Chips and Games was a good vendor to deal with. Shipped same day. Order some additional 50 roll chips for $2 (available here at Amazon) at the same time to dilute the shipping costs and build your set even bigger.
Customer Review: GOOD ITEM, HEAVY AND DURABLE
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This item is heavy and it shows on the shipping cost.
The case is average and with heavy use it feels that the handle will give up easily.
The chips are heavy and feel great and sound great.
The images on the chips look cartoonish, and are a good feature when you play with people that want to know the value of the chips.
Buy an extra set of cards, because the ones inside are paper and tend to bend real easy.
The combination of weight and sound makes your home playing an almost real experience.
Customer Review: Lots of chips for a great price
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
After opening these chips, some of them had a tendency to stick together. Also a friend of mine said they were not the standard size of chips because they were too light(9.5g) and not wide enough.
From wiki, there is no official weight that chips must weigh, and they can range from 8.5g-10g and are usually no larger.
This is a good buy for a home tournament.
Customer Review: Wonderful Birthday Present!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I purchased a poker chip set for my boyfriend's birthday.We were very impressed with the set. When you purchase on line you are really taking a chance, but I was impressed with the quality of the product. Christmas shopping for him will be easy this year with these products.Customer Review: Good buy!

this product looks awesome. The chips are beautiful and feel very sturdy and heavy in your hand. The only thing we didn't like were the way the chips were divided into monetary groups. It seemed odd that there were more of some kinds than others.
