So it's a clay/plastic composite with very slight differences between one manufacturer and another. I take it that those differences would go un-noticed by the average joe. Generally speaking then, if I were to look for that quality and feel, I'd be looking for something described specifically as a 'composite', 'clay composite' chip, and nothing who's description didn't contain those specific words? Are there any other key descriptive words I should look for if I didn't see the ones listed above?

Is there a favorite manufacturer used by most major Vegas casinos?

Thanks again.
