Custom Poker Chips – A Few Valuable Tips
Written by admin on Saturday, July 11th, 2009 in Oynakazan.
Card-games are one of the main draws at all casinos and the multicolored chips are the nerve center of the playing table. Casinos typically use chips designed just for them. These custom made poker chips are specially manufactured for the casino and they are designed to portray whatever image the casino has developed. Yet casinos are not the the only ones with the right to design their own custom poker chips - they are also available for your purchase.
Think about it - all your close friends get together at the poker table and you astonish them with custom poker chips. Anything can be put on customized poker chips - the faces of your friends and relatives, of popular actors and athletes, of poker stars and politicians. Just picture it - your entire family playing a rousing game of poker with custom poker chips with their images. Someone says, “I raise by two uncle Georges and grandma”, and you reply, “I’m all in with 10 Presidents!”
Custom made poker chips are particularly appropriate for games that are not quite so friendly - they could be a necessary commodity in your cash games and tournaments. With custom poker chips, personalized according to your requirements, you can take the level of your games to a whole new level. Furthermore, you can give some custom poker chips as a parting gift to the players, so that you will have referrals for future events.

Custom Poker Chips - How you can Purchase Them and Ways to Test
Custom made poker chips are readily available at a number of Internet stores. Stores like Epokerdeals.com, Thechiplab.com and Buypokerchips.com all stock a wide variety of customized poker chips. Feel free to browse there among many pre-made templates. Just add your favorite image or logo to a template or create a one of a kind chip design.
Customized poker chips will differ significantly when it comes to quality and price. For the friendly game, a basic chip made of plastic and metal will probably be sufficient - a hundred of these can cost as low as 10-20 dollars. But if your game involves real money, you will want to upgrade to a ceramic chip. A customized ceramic chip will be more expensive than a plastic chip, 75 cents on average. And if you own a casino, you must go for the best quality available - the clay chips. Get in touch with one of the most reputable makers, Blue Chip Company or Paulson, to purchase the highest quality chips.
After you receive a few custom made poker chips, you will want to try them out before placing another order. First, test whether the labels can stand up to a little moisture. Since there are probably going to be drinks at the poker table, your custom poker chips must stand up to being touched by wet hands. Also, skim your hand along the edge of the chip - do the ridges stand out or are they inconspicuous? Now, drag two chips together - are they scratching each other?
Poker games are always a fun activity and that brings people together. And when they are accompanied by a gorgeous set of custom poker chips, the fun doubles! Take advantage of the many custom designs available and people will talk about them for years.
