Keep Your Cool and Keep It Fun
Choosing The Best Poker Chips

The Best Poker Chips to use in your home poker room or game room may depend on the look and feel of the room itself.

That may sound a little funny but poker chips can and do play a role in creating a fun environment for everyone!

"It's all about the Details and Personalization".

HEY, Where's My Plastic
Poker Chips?

Poker Chips have come a long way from the days of plastic blue, red and white chips. Professional or Clay Poker Chips are "It" these days and for good reason. They're what the casinos use and they really are nice looking!

Whether you're having a get-together with friends or your relatives are spending the holiday season at your home a nice set of poker chips always comes in handy.

What You Need!

A fun poker inspired room color, classic poker accessories, a poker table and enough chairs for friends and family. Really it's as easy as that. If you want to go All Out Ultimate Poker Room then you're talking wall murals, large screen tv and of course a fridge because afterall who needs to run to the kitchen on poker night.

Shaken Not Stirred!
The Stylish Side Of Poker Chips!

The best poker chips these days have a style and design to them that's all their own. It's because the various companies are trying to separate themselves from the rest of the "Poker Pack". This is a great thing for you though as it gives the avid poker player a chance to add personalization to their game on poker night.

So what are some of the fun designs or custom poker chips that can be found? Well let's start with the armed forces. Yep the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines all have poker chip sets with their logo and names on them.

Besides the Armed Forces Poker Chip sets there are many other designs available. You have the generic Vegas sets, there are Texas Hold 'Em sets that have poker hands on each chip. You can also find authentic Las Vegas Casino Poker Chips those are nice especially if you're looking for the official poker chip size and weight.

Now if you're not just a poker player but also a sports enthusiast then the best poker chips for your game room would be the ones with your favorite sports team's name and logo on them. From basketball to football to your favorite university they look great, especially in a themed game room!

Of course if you're not into all the different designs and logos then a nice set of "World Series Of Poker" or "World Poker Tour" Poker Chips are always a great addition to poker night.

Man That's Really Heavy!
Poker Chip Weight

The weight of a poker chip really depends on the quality of the poker chip. Quality meaning the materials they're made from and the company who makes them. The weight will range from 2 grams up to 13 grams.

The lighter 2 or 3 gram poker chips are the ones you'll find at your local department store or toy store. These are the traditional red, white and blue chips your parents probably used when you were a child. They're very cheap and work just as good as heavier chips. It really depends on whether you're a casual player or a serious player as to whether you want these or not.

The "Best Poker Chips" or the poker chip weight that most people prefer are 11.5 grams. The 11.5 gram chips come in a variety of different styles, compositions, designs and so on.

For example a few different ones are Diamond Poker Chips, Imitation Clay Poker Chips, Cardinal Poker Chips, Suited/Dice Poker Chips, Composite Poker Chips, NexGen Poker Chips and more. They all have 11.5 grams chips. Now since each one is made of different materials and are of different quality some will cost much more than others. But all have that nice heavy feel!

There are 13 gram poker chips out there but most people prefer and use the 11.5 gram chips. So the best poker chips for your home really depends on how much you want to spend and how serious a player you are.

How Many People Are Headed Over?
Time To Count The Chips!

This is a question many people ponder especially if you're not an avid player and are planning on having a Texas Hold 'Em party or poker party. The rule of thumb is to always have more than enough!

More than enough would be 100 chips for each person sitting at the table. Although around 75 chips per person will usually suffice. It's always nice to have extras anyway since some may get damaged or lost especially if you have many parties. So if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars just buy cheaper chips in larger quantities.

Speaking of quantities chips usually come in amounts from 100 – 1000 chips per package.

Recommendation: If you're going to buy the best poker chips out there and they don’t come with a carrying/storage case please buy one. A storage case with a lock is even better. You don't want your chips to disappear or to get damaged. Get a case especially if you have young children because children always seem to find the poker chips!
