After some time clay composite chips replaced them because they were very easily breakable and that hindered the game and its consistency, which further hampered the enjoyment and fun.
Today the poker chip set has covered quite a considerable distance and the journey till now has given three types of chips, clay, composite and plastic. It depends upon your requirement and number of players in the game, that you make the right choice for your home tournament or for casinos.
