21 chips in a rack? (1 Viewer)

[nbrun]

PCF,

Just ordered a brand new set of chips from a retailer up here in Canada. Order a 1000pcs set that came in a birdcage and also 10 racks included.

When I lay the chips in the racks, 21 chips fit nicely without having to stuff them. 20 chips has extra room and they fall over…etc.

What do I do? Was I sent the wrong racks? Are there different sizes?

reference: 39mm chips - purple is 21 and pink is 20. Not sure if you can easily see the difference or the space in the pinks.

Different chips are different sizes. They sent the cheapest racks (standard practice) which work great for slugged dice chips, but not much else.

I use some old embossed chips as a spacer if I'm stacking racks. People will buy better racks 66.7mm also.

Here's a thread on some, but there are so many cheap racks out there. Thread 'The definitive Poker Chip Rack thread?' https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/the-definitive-poker-chip-rack-thread.65035/

Ah I see. I may just use a spacer as well. Just thought there may have been an error. Clearly these racks are as cheap as they get.

Any tips on spacers to use?

67.7mm rack vs a 66.7mm rack.

You can use just about anything. But a foam spacer should be useful across a wide variety of chip widths
