What chips are the best?

One of the essential parts of a poker game is the chips. Chips are the currency of the poker world, therefore, the chips used in any given cardroom or home game greatly affect the way people play. Even the use of chips themselves encourages people to play looser, as the chips themselves don’t feel like actual money. Chips are iconic in the poker and casino environment, so it’s important to have quality ones that are suitable for your price range.

The highest quality chips you can attain are custom-made ones that ty to imitate the quality of chips in casinos. I have had some custom chips made in 2023, and they are very high quality and feel very nice to play with. However, they are pricey. I went to the Poker Chip Forum to have them ordered and printed, which cost $1000 for 1000 chips. The quality is unmatched, but they may be too expensive for some people. The next option is a set of clay chips, which are very nice to play with as well, but are much cheaper than custom chips. A set of them can be found on thechipcave.com for $360-$400 for a thousand chips, depending on what case you get. There is an even cheaper option also available on the same website. They have a plastic coating with a metal piece inside for weight. A thousand of them cost around $200. Ultimately, none of these options are bad, it just depends on how much you are willing to spend. They certainly beat the chips you buy at a department store. Additionally, while you’re considering buying chips, get plastic cards as well; they are only $15 and can vastly improve the quality of your home game.
