Poker Chips????

We are having a get together on thursday and I was thinking about having a hold'em tourney.

My question is...... Where can I buy a chip set at? I looked online at Sears and Walmart but it looks like they dont carry them in store.

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.

I got a set at Barnes and Noble In the game section.

I havent looked in the store yet, just online and they sell them online but it says not in store. I will check macys and barnes and nobles.

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.

you can get a good set off of espn..if u wanted to get them offline they have a really good set..or ebay?

I just saw a nice 11.5-gram set on sale at our local Target out here in California. $17.99 for a 300-chip set in a metal case. They are the same ones I got there last year for $35. Very nice for the price. At that price, you could get 2 sets and have a bitchin' party! Check your local Target store.

i found my chip set at target..the good weighted ones too

Seems to me I saw some at the mall at Spencer Gifts.

i got some nice ones at Big 5 sporting goods. they might have some at Walmart or Target in a smaller set thats not online where you would just buy 2 sets. hope this helps

dunnams sports has them

christmas time is coming, they should be in alot of stores. or go to a mall an in the mall go to a store involving games only

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!

Try target. They always have poker chip sets.

I know nothing about it .... I hope she'll find a good set of chip and play poker with your friends

i have seen them at k mart and im sure target has them but i would think walmart should have them as they have everything

I found these at Walmart.....not all stores have them I guess, and they are not listed online. Made by Cardinal Industries.

Comes with 300 11.5 gram chips (plus dealer chip)
2 decks of Cards (not worth mentioning really as they have better ones at the dollar store real thin/flimsy)
5 Dice
Really nice aluminum case
I think it was like $18.00

I bought a great set on ebay - but you gotta wait on delivery.

I've got that set! It's cheap and great for beginning poker players who don't feel like shelling out a ton of money for chips.

they even have poker chips at Rite Aid . if you have Rite Aid out their

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 remember my first poker "set" I bought many years ago. 3 bucks with felt cover, 2 decks of crap cards, and about 100 chips. I miss it a lot.

you should be able to buy them in any mall.Wal mart should have them and so should any other big store.

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 .

I bought the crisps from a mall, now 1 year I think, and now I have them and they are very ok friends playing with me, I have not given a lot of money on them, but I can not say that I gave a little!!

What?!?

Do you mean you didn't spend a lot of money on them, but you didn't spend a little?

Sounds like there would be interest in some freerolls With a nicechip set for the prize.

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.
