Poker chips for a Casino come in many varieties and makes. One of the most important specifications can be a design that is unique to the Casino. In addition, a Host of other security features can be added to a Casino Poker chip to prevent counterfeiting.
After some research, observation, and simply asking questions for a few years, some of the mysteries and technology behind casino chips have been revealed. Available in at least six sizes (39mm to 41, 43, 45, 48 and 50mm) and up to 64 colors, it is easy to create a custom chip for a new casino. Most large chip manufacturers will not sell to the public, thus increasing the security of their chip lines. In addition to the variety of sizes and colors available the chips also have the ability to accept custom inlays in the center of each chip. These inlays have a nearly infinite ability to accept custom graphics. Yet another chip appearance variant is the ability to incorporate edge spots. Edge spots can be varied by pattern, number of spots, sizes, and color. One manufacturer has 33 different patterns, the ability to vary the number from 2 to 16, four different size options, and the ability to offer the edge spots in as many different colors as the chip (64).
The range of security features for casino grade poker chips is simply amazing. New security features are always in development. However, some existing features are UV Pigment, Laser Lock Material, customized rim, Chipsoft, UV Ink, and Alpha Dot. UV Pigment is typically used in the edge spots and causes them to appear fluorescent under a UV light. Laser Lock Material is a patented product that is generally mixed with inks, and then the materials can be revealed as green by a special laser pen. Customized rims are created by making a custom chip mold for the casino. Chipsoft is a trademarked name of a technology that embeds RFID's in value chips. This allows poker chip management to become a science with the proper software. UV ink is typically used on the inlays to create a logo that is invisible, except under a UV light. Alpha Dot is a very unique technology involving a microscopic dot which is embedded into the inlay on the poker chip. The tiny dot will have text written on it that can be viewed by a very special lens.
Weights for casino chips often vary between 8.3 grams and 12.3 grams. Some will even include metal inserts like many poker chips created for the home market. Some large chip manufacturers offer a variety of simpler roulette style chips and even solid color hot stamped chips. The solid color chips are generally used for the lower values in the casino.
