| I saw some at Macy's recently. You's be surprised where you find them nowadays. You sre they are not in Sears or Walmart? They are usually by the sporting goods section. The chips aren't wonderful but they will do for for tourney on Thursday. Look online after the tourney if you want better quality chips. |

| Ive actually got three different chip sets. Well two actual sets and then I bought a whole bunch of the bicycle chips from target because to me they are the best. If your wandering why I have three different sets one is from when I was younger I got a cheap plastic set one Christmas (yes Ive been an adict for a long time now) and the other I lost a whole bunch of the chips because my boss held a poker tournament in his shop one night and we had about 45 people and he needed more chips so some of mine got mixed up with some others and I dont have nearly a balance in colors of chips that you would need. |

| My Chips Read your packaging Carefully. There are basically 2 "sizes" there are 9g and 11.5g chips. Make sure you get the 11.5g. This is the size they use in casinos. There are also 2 different (uniform) types of chips, one is called "Suited" and the other is "Dice". The "Suited" chips have the 4 suits along the rim and Dots on the edges. The "Dice" chips (the more popular ones) have Dice along the rim and Lines along the edges. (if you watch interviews with the pros backstage at a table with chips, these are the chips they use) I bought my first set at Spencers. It was only a 100pcs set (suited) and came with a chip tray and cover. Nice to have, but not really practical for a game. 3 colors only 100 chips... I dont think so. The next set I got was a 500pcs (dice) set in a brief case. 100 chips of each color Green, Red, White, Blue and Black. I found this was ideal but using the White as a $100 chip, found we were consistantly buying/selling White chips at the table because of the denomination. (you need 4 for $400) Found at Walmart (in the sporting goods isle) they had "rolls" of 50, so I bought (2) whites (dice). Put my "suited" chips in the "tube rolls" and kept the rack for my new whites. Being a home game poker "addict", wanted MORE!!! Went online and purchased a few more racks, and 100 more of "Black" Dice. (want to make sure they all match. Thats 700 chips now... is that enough??? NOPE!!! NOT FOR ME... I WANT MORE!!! ok... What next??? Went back online (a year or two later of course) and ordered Purple and Orange chips... A little irregular, but higher denominations... more exciting play and longer games. (900 chips total now). You would think Im done right??? WRONG!!! Later again I went online and bought Pink. Now I have pink... and How should I store them??? The same time as buying my pink chips... Have you ever noticed in Casinos when Security is moving chips from the cage to the tables??? Yep... I bought one.... It holds 1000 chips (10 racks). This was a little expensive at about $45, but I love it. If you are looking for chips in a hurry, you can find them in stores and like someone stated "christmas is coming" and they will start popping up. Otherwise I suggest looking online (a decent price is about $0.10/chip) Put in your search engine "Poker Chips" and look around. You'll find single chips, chip sets and chip cases. I have attached photos of "Suited" chips, "Dice" chips and MY CHIPS! Good Luck with your search! |

| Well, you can probably buy them in every better toy shop so that's no point. It's even better, the poker hype is over and the shops want to clean up space so probably you're lucky and have a bargain At least that's what's happening here in the Netherlands where you can buy the last sets for almost nothing compared to 1,5 years ago Enjoy the home-play |

| I have a nice set. 11.5 grams in the dice style that I won in a poker tournament about 6 years ago. 500 chips in the set and it came with some Bicycle cards and dice. All in the nice stainless steel case with a keylock on it(just in case anyone walks behind the dealers back and tries to snatch some extra chips). But it has always served me in my smaller games, but for our bigger home games I have had to mix chips with friends, but mine are marked so we just go through them all at the end, works out fine. I would like to get one of those clear plastic cases though, I like my stainless steel one, but I think the clear plastic one would look pretty sweet sitting on my bar in my basement, just as decor though . -Absolut Hamm |

| re: Poker Chips???? I just joined (because of this thread, in fact), but if you guys are serious about getting good chips, I'd like to suggest two of my favorite poker forums: chiptalk.net and homepokertourney.com . I haven't read through cardschat yet, but both of the forums of which I'm a regular, seem to be fairly compatible with this forum; and there are a lot of very smart people who know a lot about good quality chips at both of those sites. Not here to spam other forums on you (though both CT and HPT are great forums to read and participate in). But as a lover of chips both individually as collectibles and as quality playable sets, I thought my pointer might be of interest to those who want more than what's offered at department stores and such. Anyway, hope to see you there. I'll butt out now, take care. |
