Nice Chips

I bought a set of 500 for low stakes
cash games and they are nice chips.
They don't compare IMO to Paulson JBs
or Chipcos, but they are less expensive
than either of these. They stack well
and have a decent sound, maybe better
than the Chipcos (but not near as good
as the Paulsons). IMO, the chips feel
great when you're holding the edges of
the chip (like when you're playing
around with a stack at a time), but I
don't really like the sandpaper feel of
the chip face. This really bugged me
when I first purchased them, but I
don't find it as bad now after a few
plays. I think it is my getting used to
the feel rather than the chips breaking
in, as I haven't used them enough yet
for the latter. And, I'm really not a
huge fan of the graphic and bold colors.
They're not ugly by any means, but a
litte over the top for me. All in all,
a much better chip than the typical
11.5g plastic w/ metal slug, and even
much better than the Nexgen and 13.5g
Pro Clay. Not top of the line, but
these are in a different class
altogether than the typical chip you'll
find at home poker games.

Desert Sands Poker Chips
Like the Nevada Jacks Skull Chips, the Desert Sands Chips feel great.
I accidentally left one in my pocket when going through the airport
in Las Vegas so I don't think they have metal inserts.
If you look closely on the perimeter you can see the little NJ diamonds
because the chip is made by Nevada Jacks.
Price Comparisons for Desert Sands Poker Chips
ePokerDeals has these at $300 for a 500 chip set or about 60 cents each.
Like the All-In chips and the Nevada Jacks Skull chips, these
are in between the cheap 11.5g metal insert composites and the high
end Paulson chips which are over $1 each.
Those used to cheap composites might think these chips are expensive
but they are worth the price for those who can appreciate quality chips.
Desert Sands Poker Chips Appearance
The Desert Sands Chips have what looks like the casino in the middle.
The verbiage says Desert Sands Casino in the middle
and Las Vegas Nevada near the bottom.
The denomination of each chip is also near the bottom.
I like the orange one which they have labelled as 50 cents.
One thing about the appearance must be pointed out, THE EDGE SPOTS DO NOT LINE UP.
In other words if you look at the stripes on the top, side and bottom none of them
line up. This doesn't bother me but I'm sure some folks out there may not like
it.
Desert Sands Poker Chips Quality
The Desert Sands chips feel nice. I am now at the point where I can tell a lot about the quality of a chip from just holding it a few seconds and these Desert Sands chips pass the test.
Unlike cheap composites, they are not overly smooth. Also, they do not make
a loud noise when they bang against each other.
