Ready for the Best Poker Chips - Clay or Ceramic?
Article by: Tomb1
Most people looking to get or upgrade to the best chips ask what chips they should buy. You really can't answer that question without deciding which way you want to go when facing that first fork in the road: Clay or Ceramic.
So the purpose of this article is to give some basic information, in words and pictures, to help guide that decision -- "I know I'm ready for good chips, but do I want clay or ceramic?"
I'm not reviewing any chips in particular, and I'm not pointing to any buying sites. Look around this board for lots of this specific information. Some of this material has been posted before in the 2+2 or THP forums.

Las Vegas, NV 89101
1-800-937-6537 Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel
For the second time in as many years I stayed at Binions in November 2007 during my annual fall vacation in Las Vegas. Downtown and Fremont Street is certainly not for everybody, but I much prefer the atmosphere there than the amusement park feel of the strip. Not that I don’t like sight seeing on the strip, it just wears out after a few times. There is just something I like about downtown and the whole Vegas history better than the strip.
Located in the upper center section of The Fremont Street Experience across from The Golden Nugget, and just a quick walk to The Plaza, Binions is set at the heart of Downtown and is one of the oldest Hotel/Casinos in Vegas. Being the birthplace of the... [Read More]
