Abstract
A gaming chip is provided that includes a rigid core element having an outer peripheral edge, and top and bottom surfaces. The core element is formed with at least one ventilating aperture extending from the top surface to the bottom surface. The ventilating aperture relieves any vacuum formed between the chip and an adjacent chip, allowing the chip to be more easily handled. In another embodiment, a method for making a gaming chip is provided. The method includes molding a rigid disk element having an outer peripheral edge, and top and bottom surfaces. At least one ventilating aperture is molded into the disk that extends from the top surface to the bottom surface. The molded ventilating aperture relieves any vacuum formed between the chip and an adjacent chip, allowing the chip to be more easily handled.
