Re: Probably an easy question, but Why Faux clay over Super diamond?

Agreed...One of the local casinos here uses super diamonds (hotstamped) as their tourney set...I really dislike them...as the tourney breaks down to 2 tables, you notice the recurring chip spilling as players attempt to bet...awful...my experience with faux clay are more limited, but have been playing with the ones that have arrived and they stack like champs...

My first chips were 1000 super diamonds, and every now and then I slam my head against a wall for not spending the .01 extra per chip to get faux clay instead.

The only new faux clay that may be made are the ones by palm imports if he ever gets around to it.
