Everyone seems to be playing poker these days. Whether in a casino, on the internet or in the comfort of their own home, home games have been the venue of choice for most recreational players. Casinos can be intimidating to newcomers and online is considered to be rigged or unsafe by those not in the know.

Most home games will consist of the standard playing cards, some chips and beer and your run of the mill mass-produced poker chips. It becomes boring to see the same old poker chips flying around the table time after time. We as humans desire variety and without this change we grow uninterested.



So, what does it take to set you apart from the rest? How about a nice set of custom poker chips! Instead of the generic red white and blue poker chips you see at all the games you go to, try playing with a set of chips that will WOW your friends.



Custom poker chips can be found at most online stores that sell gaming supplies. These chips can be designed to fit your specific needs. If you have a name for your home poker group, you can have this etched or stamped into the middle of you poker chips. You can also have certain denominations to fit your own specific needs. Most standard chips are blank. They will only have a generic design and no money amount on the face. We are left to distinguish the denomination by color. Which, as easy it seems. You will often hear the phrase, "How much are the blue chips?" repeated over and over again.



Perhaps one of the coolest features that can be customized on a poker chip is a picture. If you have a lucky picture or a photo of your child, this can easily be requested to have in lain on your custom chip. As poker players we tend to be superstitious and with our new lucky chips were sure to win every hand.



As with any custom poker chip, they can in many forms. You have the classic clay composite, which are the standard at most home games you go to. These are your imitation casino chips and the least expensive.



If you really want to make an impression, you can order a set of clay chips that are the closest thing to a casino quality chip. Imagine your friends sitting down at the table. Upon looking down to count their chips they see your lucky picture stamped in the middle of a custom poker chip. They feel the chip and notice its feel. It almost feels like they are sitting in a casino playing with the pros and bluffing them out of a huge pot.



As your lucky chips are being splashed in the pot, you can't help but feel a certain amount of pride. Pride, because you have the best custom poker chips in town and everyone wants to use them.
