What kind of chips are those (1 Viewer)

[thecatishere]

Hi, i've searched the whole internet for poker chips that look this good and i can't find any. All of the chips i've seen look very imperfect - rough misaligned edges, uneven stripes etc. They all look like they won't even be able to hold on a tall stack. So my question is where in Europe can I get this type of poker chip without all those imperfections. How much would this cost, where do casinos get their chips from?

You can also see a very cool bevel on the side

Those are either B&G or Abbiati. More likely Abbiati. Can't be Bud Jones or Matsui.

The Whiteout Casino? There’s a resource you can look these up by casino name, but we don’t have that name.

You can show the casino name, really. I’m not sure what trouble you think you may get for posting it, but it’s kinda a sign.

These are plastic chips, likely 'casino grade' as opposed to consumer/home grade. The cheaper the chip, the more imperfections and sloppiness from manufacturing. Whereas these B&G or Abbiati chips are going to be a very high quality. Unfortunately these companies won't sell to you, or at least not with a very large order. This means you want to find used/vintage casino chips for sale. This could be via eBay or other local auction/marketplace.

The classifieds here are perhaps 10% European, which would probably make shipping reasonable. Most folks here focus on clay chips which feel and look a bit different than these plastic chips you've seen. However, if you haven't been hands-on yet with good chips, you won't really know what you like until you handle them in person.

Long story short, most high end chips aren't available for sale new, so you need to find a good used set.

Lots of budget chips are available, and presumably with reasonable shipping to Bulgaria, but they come with quality tradeoffs.

You don't need the world's best chips to have fun playing poker with your friends however, so if the goal is to get a game going, hyper focusing on chips will be a distraction.

Good luck

These chips in Germany are casino-grade clay, and reasonably well used so they won't have the razor sharp edges. Could be a good starting point to chipping if you want to start putting a set together. They will be higher quality than anything you can buy new at the price point of under $1-2/chip, and are offered at about $1/chip.

New decent (meaning reasonably good quality control) budget chips start around $0.50/chip, while there's plenty of the cheapest stuff at about $0.10/chip.
