The Pro World Games of Poker chips are compression molded clay poker chips made in Sweden. They are on the "Coffee & Biscuit" mold which is very similar in appearance to the Paulson Top Hat & Cane mold. The mold features eight impressions of a coffee cup and biscuit. There is no metal slug in this chip. These chips have a nice feel and sound, not quite Paulson quality, but very close. They feel and sound very similar to a Chinese clay chip.

The label states "Pro WORLD GAMES of POKER" with the denomination near the bottom of the chip, the words "NO CASH VALUE" printed along the left and right perimeter, and LAS VEGAS, NV" printed at the bottom of the label under the denomination. The labels are very similar to the World Series of Poker poker chips.

For the most part, this chipset uses the standard poker chip colors (red 5, green 25, black 100, etc.) except for the highest denominations. The yellow 1000 and 5000 chips are very similar in color as are the red 5 and 500,000 chips and the green 25 and 25,000 chips. I would recommend not using these chip colors at the same time as it may confuse some players and lead to trouble. The denominations are large and easy to read, but the colors on these chips are almost identical and a player could easily throw the wrong chip into the pot.

The chips feature four identical multi-colored edge spots. The edge spots line up from one side of the chip to the other and contrast nicely with the base color of the chip.

Sample chip diameters were 40.06, 40.05, 40.16, 40.02, 39.98, 39.93, 39.81, 39.99, 39.94, 40.02 and 39.77mm. Eleven chips stacked together were 36.53mm high (3.32mm per chip). Sample weights were 10.00, 9.71, 10.03, 9.70, 9.84, 9.52, 9.57, 9.76, 9.79, 9.65 and 9.79 grams.

 These chips are offered in the "Coffee & Biscuit" mold and in the colors and design pictured above but are fully customizable at additional cost. Minimum order quantity is 50 chips total. You can mix any denominations and quantities to reach the 50 chip minimum. The cost is 0.75 EUR per chip regardless of quantity ordered. International shipping is free. These chips are available from MrChip.eu.

This is a very unique set of customized ceramic poker chips from MrChip.eu. This collection has one of the most diverse styles of chips available. You can order the standardized 40mm chips, the larger 43mm chips, the plaques, and a dealer button. The 43mm chips and the plaques add a unique touch to this line of poker chips. You can even order your chips with an ultraviolet printing for security purposes. Both faces of the chip are identical.

These chips and dealer button have speckled (flaked) base colors and are a bit slippery when compared to a true clay chip.

The 5,000, 10,000, and bounty chips are slightly larger than the lower denomination chips. The lower denominations are the standard 40mm in diameter but the larger chips are 43mm.

Sample diameters were 39.34, 39.40, 39.32, 39.37, 39.39, 39.34, 39.32, 39.33, 39.36, 39.34, 39.34, and 39.40mm. The larger chips were 42.93, 42.82, and 42.92mm. the dealer button is 48.74mm in diameter. Twelve chips stacked together are 40.14mm high (3.35mm per chip), three larger chips are 10.07mm high (3.36mm per large chip), and the dealer button is 5.55mm thick and costs 6.82EUR with free international shipping.

Sample weights were 10.22, 10.21, 10.14, 10.20, 10.13, 10.14, 10.20, 10.18, 10.28, 10.14, 10.20, and 10.20 grams. The larger chips were 11.67, 11.53, and 11.51 grams. The dealer button weighs 26.01 grams. The plaques weighed 39.56 and 41.41 grams, measured 84.34 x 52.88mm and sell for 1.98EUR with free international shipping (minimum order is 25 plaques).

These chips are sold in the Aviator Club design or you can design your own chips. One very unique feature of the customized chips is that you can order the edge spots in a normal, aligned, or unaligned version. Aligned edge spots perfectly wrap around from one face of the chip to the other face of the chip. Most poker chip labels are simply placed onto the face of the chip with no regard for where the edge spots line up with the label graphics, but aligned edge spots allow you to precisely position and align your label with the edge spots and you can design your label so that the edge spots become an integral part of your design.

These are ceramic poker chips with a Greek design. Hecate is the Greek goddess of the moon, the underworld, and of Magic. Quality-wise, these chips are very similar to Chipco ceramic poker chips.

These chips are available in .25, 1, 5, 25, 100, 500, 1000, and 5000 denominations. The denominations are printed on the face of the chip as well as on the rolling edge of the edge spot. The edge spot denominations are hard to read, but this is a nice feature and adds a bit of substance to the chip.

Sample diameters were 39.44, 39.35, 39.39, and 39.30mm. Four chips stacked together were 13.25mm high (3.31mm per chip). Sample weights were 10.20, 10.22, 10.23, and 10.21 grams.
