I’m trying to get a nice set for a weekly game and want a casino feel. I’m just not sure on the typical poker chip weight. 10g, 11.5g, 13.5g?

I’m a poker dealer at a card room in the state of New Hampshire, and have been playing poker for about five years.
I’d say go with 11.5g. In my opinion, they are the most comfortable to shuffle, and they stack great because of their mass.

Weight of poker chips varies anywhere from 9g to 11.5g. However the commonly used poker chip is 11.5g.

The industry standard, Paulson chips come in at around 9 or 10 grams. They are, however, the closest thing to an actual clay chip you can have and cost a dollar or more per chip. They are also the suppliers of chips to most casinos. I have not seen any other chips that stack well. Get a sample set of Paulsons and you will see what I mean. I wouldn’t worry so much about the weight of the chips but about the look, the feel, and how much you enjoy using the chips. My recommendation is the Dunes commemorative chips because they are 1/3 of the cost of Paulsons and look great.
