SLOWPLAY Poker Chip Sample Set | Clay Poker Chips & Ceramic Poker Chips | Numbered Chips, Blank Chips | 50pcs per Pack

It's pretty.

I've been trying to get hold of some ceramic poker chips, simply to compare how they feel in the hand compared to the regular weighted clay composite ones I normally find.This sample set is more generous than expected, because the 50 pieces included are not (as advertised), 25 clay chips @40mm, and 25 ceramic @39mm - the actual breakdown is this:12 numbered 40mm clay chips (with "1" and "5" duplicated)6 non-numbered 40mm clay chips10 numbered 39mm ceramic chips6 non-numbered 39mm ceramic chips---and---10 numbered 43mm ceramic chips6 non-numbered 43mm ceramic chipsThat makes 18 clay chips in total, and 32 ceramic chips, in two sizes. And I've weighed batches of 10 at a time, giving me the following weights:40mm Clay - 14.1g39 Ceramic - 10.0g43mm Ceramic - 12.3gAll in all, I prefer the ceramic chips both in terms of feel and their brighter (but not excessively bright) colours, to mention that they don't need the heat-applied film labels for their numbering.

Picked this up to get a feel for the different size and style of chips offered by Slowplay. It serves it's purpose perfectly as a sampler.

Nice

Nice set to compare, but a tricky one. The ceramics have the best feel. But the weight of the 14g clays are still my preference over the more flimsy 10g 39mm ceramics. The clays are super finger print prone though. It's more plastic than clay. I dare say, there's 0% clay in these composites. It's just ABS. Middle part is a sticker that may come off over time. You can even peal It off If you like. Price is quite high looking at the quality. I'm not winning that much over my cheap-ass tier 1 dice chips.Another negative Is their set pricing, which I find generally quite high. For similar prices you'd have better quality chips. And buying them individually always comes with 50 chips, which is fine for the lower numbered ones, but for the higher ones I don't need that many.The 43mm ceramic are the best ones, nice heft and feel, nice design and colours, but so pricey! And worst of all, I can't buy them. Not through AMZ, but also not on their official website. Apparently they can't deliver those to Europe? Because I can select them for other parts of the world.

The media could not be loaded.

Conforme et bonne qualité

If you play poker you know most chips have a mark on the edge to make it faster to count chips in a stack, the ceramic set lacks that mark. They feel and sound great and i like the casino weight rather than the heavy chips that are so popular, the clay chips feel amazing but they aren't the traditional colors im used to the 5 is a yellow instead of red and 25 is pink, otherwise these chips are fantastic, the insert is a sticker so be aware of that but overall the clay was a pretty solid choice.

These are good chips but just know there is 49 not 50.

Mit dem Probierset bekommt man super ein Gefühl für die Textur und Farben der Chips.Auf Nachfragen reagiert der Support schnell und höflich.Habe mir jetzt das Nash Pokerset 500 mit Werten geholt und kann die Marke nur jedem empfehlen, dem Stil und Qualität wichtig sind!

This sample set includes both "clay" style and "ceramic" style chips. My set somehow included 16 39mm clays with 2 spares/duplicates (18 total), 15 39mm ceramics, and 16 43mm ceramics. The sample was exactly as advertised, an inexpensive way to get your hands and eyes on a sample of these chips.The clays feel really good with a nice weight, a noticeable center indent, clean straight edges, great stacking, and a good sound. They are slightly thicker than the two ceramic types. They stack well, slide well, shuffle well, and tapping/hitting on the top of a stack does not cause anything but minimal wobbling.The clay colors are astoundingly awful: the color choices feel (to me) like someone decided "All those bright poker chips are just too bright so let's mute things for an adult feel, and while we're at it, lets change every color around because change is good." All the colors (even, somehow, the white) feel dull and lifeless, probably because of the majority of the chip being a solid flat black.On the clays, the black inlay sticker with gold ink does not stand out well at all, reading denominations takes a moment for middle aged and teenage vision (longer for senior vision), and the non-standardized color set means any player will have to learn chip colors specific to this set to read their own or another player's stack value.There is a manufacturing mark on the clay chips, visible and tactile, along the edge corner, but is insignificant. A moment (The only positive of the clay colors is that there are only three colors that could be mistaken for the others: the white of the '1,' the yellow of the '5', and the halfway between yellow-white of the '10000.' The rest of the colors, while muted, are distinct. Under bright lighting it is not awful but not clean, normal lighting makes it really possible to miss the color on a stack.On the clay style chips, VERY bright lighting will resolve some of the denomination/branding visibility as well as some of the muted color. An LED flashlight at less than 12" made visibility of the markings fairly clean - regular LED room lighting, much less most 'home' poker table rooms, will not have sufficient light to make visibility anything but difficult. The colors still do not pop and are not vibrant under bright light, but are less dull.The ceramics feel amazing. They are a little light for my tastes, but sound great, have perfectly flat edges with a very fine bevel, and exceptionally clean face printing. Quality is good enough that the chips can stand on edge, and they do not roll. The lack of edge printing/coloring/marking is a disappointment. There are manufacturing marks on every chip that are both visual and tactile, and on some chips there are marks that are visual but not tactile.The same color denomination/branding ink on all of the ceramic chip faces make denomination visibility really poor on certain chips (50, 1000, 5000, 10000); moderate on certain chips (1, 10, 25), but clean on the last (5, 100, 500). On almost all of these chips, there is a visible almost pattern bleed on the edges (most notable on the 1/white chip) caused by printing on the edge corner bevel. Edge markings would resolve this, of course.This is both the best and worst set of ceramics I have had my hands on (which is only about 8 sets so far).The color choices for the ceramics is decent - White (1), Red (5), Green (25), Black (100), and Purple (500) are exceptionally vibrant and (by apparent chance) match the 'normal' standard and the gold ink stands out well on these. The Turquoise (10), Yellow (1000), Brown (5000), and Grey (10000) are very dull, and the gold ink is not as clear. The Orange (50) is about halfway between dull and vibrant. There is a dark blue and dark turquoise without denomination that are vibrant as well.The 43mm ceramics are identical to the 39mm ceramics in colors, quality, appearance, and visibility. They are a tiny bit heavier, of course.
