It makes an absolutely priceless gift! May be you want to give it to someone or you want to buy one for yourself, but you do not know much about it, do not worry.  Now that you are here you can leave your worries to us. We will hand-hold you through the journey of buying a  Poker Chips Set.
Poker chips can come in various forms. Plastic poker chips, (ABS) composite poker chips, clay composite poker chips, real clay poker chips and ceramic casino poker chips.
Plastic chips weigh approximately around 5 grams to 7 grams. The advantage in buying plastic chips is that they are inexpensive. On the other hand, they are easily damaged. A good idea might be to initially order plastic chips if you are on a tight budget. But if you decide to invest in home games you should order a set of quality composite or clay composite chips or better yet, a set of ceramic poker chips.
Composite poker chips last forever if handled properly.  These chips are made of hard compressed plastic material.
  Clay composite poker chips are the most common chips people use at home.  They are expensive but last much longer than real clay chips.
These chips usually come in 11.5 grams and 13.5 grams.
Clay poker chips usually last around 5 to 6 years in casinos. A pure clay poker chip has the same exact feel of a real casino poker chip, except that it doesn't have the same security features. They weigh anywhere between 9 grams and 10.5 grams. The best chips money can buy are ceramic chips like those used by many of the higher class casinos and card rooms.

 

How Many Poker Chips Do I Need?

 

For your poker evening you need poker chips depending upon the number of people in the game. Also the chips vary in denominations and the value is identified by colors. Different colors are assigned different values. Coming back to the point, the number of poker chips required depends upon number of people in the game. As a general rule of thumb...If there are 7-8 people in the game and number of poker chips goes up to 500. If there is more than 9 players in the game you need 1000 poker chips.
 

Colors and Denominations:
We shall also look into denomination according to colors:
1 White, 5-Red, 25-Green, 100-Black, 500-Purple (Standard US Casino colors)

 

Regular players playing under 400 chips go for 3:2:1 ratio. In other words someone playing tournaments (with starting blinds of 5/10) with 300 poker chips will go for 150 Red, 100 Green and 50 black Chips.

 

Once more chips are added or if you go above 400 Poker Chips, more colors would be added. Adding more colours than necessary is not encouraged as you are more likely to forget the value placed for each color unless on every chip the value is printed.

 

Generally, players keep approximately up to 70% of their chips in the lower and middle denominations.

 

When you order a Poker Chips Set you have to keep in mind that while the common denomination chips may be readily available, higher denominations may have to be custom made after the order is placed.
Be sure you consider the betting tendencies of your players before settling for a Poker Chips Set.
