As mentioned above, there are various chips that you can buy, made out of different materials. All of these chips come in different colors and wight, so that you can individually customize your texas holdem chip set.

Let us start from the simple texas holdem chips, which would be the plastic chip. Not chic, but cheap. These chips will certainly not impress anybody, but they are good enough if you are just a random-time-player and want to use them as replaceable texas holdem chips.

Next in the texas holdem chips hierarchy is the resin based chip. These are inexpensive as well, but look like real poker chips usually with a metal center to give the chip additional weight. Then we have the mother-of-pearl poker chip, the component is also known as nacre and is a composite material, which gives the actual texas holdem poker chips the pearly look and feel to it. These chips are very aesthetic and look almost like collector's items.

The most common texas holdem chips are the clay chips. These clay chips come as clay composite material or simply as clay. This chip variant is the more expensive type, but is also in demand by the casinos that use the chip and by private poker houses.

There are also ceramic poker chips, which are according to popular believe, the best chips there are. This is because the surface of a ceramic chip is smooth, yet it is not slippery, which is important in moving and throwing the chip.

The surface of resin material or clay composite types feels different and is also prone to imperfections. The ceramic texas holdem chips are also slightly heavier than the ordinary chips. The ceramic chips are usually on an order basis, and cost more than the clay chips.

The last and ultimate poker chip is the customized chip. You can get customized chips in any poker chip supplier and online as well. Create your own logo and design and you can have the luxury of showing off your very own texas holdem chips. Customization price is on a per chip basis with the material of your choice; let it be plastic, clay, or ceramic.
