The Drawing Dead set hails from our 13-Gram poker chip line

Our 13-Gram poker chip line, although unquestionably in the cheap poker chip class, was added to our offerings as a starter set for customers that weren’t quite ready to drop $300-$600 on a set of real clay chips just yet. Holding to our strongly held belief that “Cheap Poker Chips Suck,” we decided that we would offer a single low-end chip line if, and only if, we built in an easy path to ownership of a real clay poker chip set (see our pioneering Trade-Up Program), AND only offered the single best cheap poker chip on the market (and we rigorously test them all for touch, feel, and pot-splashing sound).

We’ve done the legwork for you. The 13-Gram poker chip is currently what we’ve found to be the best cheap poker chip available on the market. It’s not clay, as no cheap poker chips are, no matter what anyone tells you. All cheap poker chips are injection molded and it’s physically impossible to injection mold clay. They’re all some kind of plastic composite, and are typically made in China. Whatever you do when buying cheap poker chips elsewhere, make sure you get a sample first as there are two predominant types, one that feels a bit like a hockey puck, and one that is unmistakably hard cheap plastic (sometimes called ABS). We strongly recommend staying away from ABS.

The 13-Gram poker chip line contains a somewhat rubbery substance, which makes it approximate a clay chip far better than any other cheap poker chip out there. As with all cheap poker chips, you can find these available from literally hundreds of merchants (of varying reputation) for about the same price. Since all customers who buy them from us also get a trade-up option worth up to $100 off one of our real clay poker chip sets (see details), there is little reason to get them anywhere else. You either have the option to upgrade, or you don’t. It’s a simple decision. For the sanctity of poker aficionados everywhere, we hope you can someday upgrade to real chips – so we are doing our part.
