There is a wide selection of poker chips sets around. You have a choice of chips, dealer buttons, cards, and case. It all depends on your personal choice and needs.

So what does a poker chips set consist of? Basically it should have 2 decks of cards, a dealer button, 5 dice and a case. The case you choose will depend on whether you are taking your set to different places or just keeping it at home.

If your poker set is staying home, I’d go with the swanky poker chip display boxes. Some of these poker chip sets look like pieces of fine furniture. They’re generally made of high quality wood and have a glass top to show off your poker chips. Drawers swing open to reveal little areas for your card decks and dealer button to rest. These sets tend to be expensive not only because of the high quality of wood used for them, but because you’re going to want to have high quality clay chips in this beauty. I mean, who shows off composite chips?

Then again, if you are going to different poker games a good carrying case is something you will need. Sometimes when you buy a poker chips set you will find that a case is included. So what are your choices for a carrying case? There are a few plastic one out there but the majority of them are wood or aluminum.

A wood carrying case will look beautiful when new. However over time it will show wear and tear and loose its luster. Aluminum is definitely more hard-wearing.

Aluminum is much more resilient than a wood carrying case. Another advantage is that it is relatively cheap to replace when it finally gets run down.

If you are a serious poker player you will need a poker chips set. However before you decide which one to get you need to think whether you will be keeping your set at home or traveling. Then you can select the cards and chips you need in your set and the right carrying case.
