For poker you’ll have multipliers of 4 or 5 between the different denominations.

My partner says the distribution of numbers is particular to each game.

or you have fixed numbers printed/stickered on the chips.

there are chips that have no fixed denominations just color coding.

stickers: cheaper but the stickers may come off (in the years since we have our set 3 of 750 chips have had the stickers come off a bit).

My partner says he prefers them not too heavy, the lower end of medium-weight.

The casinos originally use clay poker chips which apparently have a very nice feel but they aren’t as robust and are also very expensive.

just plastic: cheaper but not as nice to handle.

There are different characteristics of chips you’ll want to decide on We debated the Brass chips here and my partner said the price point is actually good. I love the lid organizer in the 1510, and the 1560 LO will hold even more.Is there a difference between poker chips for boardgames and actual poker chips? We’ve got a huge case of the latter (750 chips, metal core, with stickers, medium weight) I was thinking of getting another 1510, or getting going ahead and getting a 1560. I'd love to know how you like this case as I still consider it a viable option for me. My biggest issue is how much it all weighs. I have a 1600 and a 1700 chip sets, and I'd love one case to carry them all. I may still get one, though I'm concerned about the weight when fully loaded. But the 1560 would hold a lot more - a whole lot more. One is that it will qualify as on-board luggage and the other is that it was big enough to cart 1500-1600 if I needed to. TFCJ, I seriously considered the 1560 too! I really liked it, but went with the 1520 for two reasons. Those are some of the reasons I prefer the Pelican. Once you need to carry more equipment, it doesn't work as well. Since the birdcage is lighter than a Pelican, if all you need is 1000 chips (or 600), a dealer button, and up to 4 decks of cards, they would work quite well. My biggest objection to the birdcages wasn't the case itself, it was the fact that I like the 4x25 boxes better than the 5x20 racks. The birdcages are great for showing off the chips, but that meant nothing to me personally.

They just don't let you carry all the extras. I do think they are much sturdier than a birdcage, but I think well-built birdcages are pretty sturdy and a good solution for a lot of people.

The 1500 is a great case (all Pelican cases are great!), but over time, those wheels are going to make your life a lot easier if you do much transporting. The 1500 is much smaller than the 1510, and the 1510 has wheels.
